esavvymom said:At one of the workshops I was at last week (Selling with the stars), they said that HO doesn't "endorse" the cooking of bacon on the large bar pan...but she didn't say why (She was in "show mode"). She did explain HOW to go about doing it and said she does it anyway.
But I was just curious, Does anyone know why HO doesn't recommend cooking the bacon on the bar pan in the oven? I think I did it once on parchment paper...never had any problem. I actually usually just do it on a broiler pan so the drippings fall below instead of stay on the bacon (but I use Turkey bacon- so there isn't much grease).
Just curious.

esavvymom said:Yeah...I could do that. I just got an email from one of the ladies with her notes. It was Jenney Blackburn and Debbie Ellingson. I think Debbie is the one who mentioned it. If I find out, I'll let you know, but it's good to know that PC HO actually had at one time at least used it. Maybe something happened after that and they changed their mind and we missed the memo!
BlessedWifeMommy said:Here is my take on bacon. I think they say for us to use parchment paper (to soak up some of the fat). Only to do 8-10 slices. I think they want to avoid people putting a whole pound on the bar pan, having lots of fat in the pan and having is splash onto a hot oven coil and starting a fire, during cooking or when they remove it from the oven.
I think it is okay if it is done carefully, and I tell people it is a great way to cook bacon.
Also I love pancakes in the oven (done as described above). I can cook eggs while the pancakes cook and everyone eats at the same time.
esavvymom said:I figured it would probably be something like this. Or people splashing themselves with the hot grease when they take it out of the oven.
Since I use Turkey Bacon, there is virtually no drippings, but I still use Parchment paper.
BlessedWifeMommy said:Before I knew to use parchment paper, I did bacon once, and I wanted to get the most on the pan as I could, so I crammed it on. Well the bacon came out great (a few pieces that were touching stuck together), but there was a lot of grease that would have splashed if I had tried to get it out of the oven. I waited until the pan was cool (just took the bacon off with tongs) and cleaned it up.
I think we just need to give instructions when telling people they can cook bacon in the oven.
Not much to go on- but it's probably what we all expected- the excess grease getting spilled could probably cause a fire on a hot element.Yes, we all do it. It was actually Jenney who spoke about it. HO feels it's a fire hazard.
I did this tonight while my husband was frying bologna and eggs on HIS new double burner griddle. I forgot how to long to cook them and only did about 12 minutes. They were delicious but fell apart very easy so next time I will remember to cook them longer.Jolie_Paradoxe said:Pancakes: Pour your batter into the bar pan and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes. You will have a huge pancake that you can then cut into squares. Let your children use the Creative Cutters to make their own shapes.

Jolie_Paradoxe said:Cool taterbug....tell your hubby I'm jealous! I want the double burner griddle! lol I'm hoping to get the 12" skillet in Aug....if I get the option for the second, I don't know if I want the double burner, the stir fry, or the stock pot....decisions, decisions, decisions! lol
I have a glass top stove too but would never have thought about there being an issue. I didn't notice anything like that last night when we used it (I just got it for him so it was the first time he used it).Melissa78 said:BTW: If you want to know torture...I wonthe dbl burner griddle and cannot use it. I put it in my basement to be used in the future as I have a glass top range that specifically lists not to use dbl burner pans as it may adhere itself to the glass in the middle where there is no heat. Its like I was given chocolate and told I cannot eat it. Cruel and unusual punishment! The pans last a lifetime, my stove won't. hehe
PCMomto4 said:I am surprised you can't use them with glass top either. Especially since nowadays most people unless they have a gas stove have glass tops. I don't even know if you can buy the other kind anymore.

esavvymom said:Well, I emailed the lady that said it (about the bacon) and I'll post what she says. Not that we'd all do it anyway, but just curious!!
Update:
The one lady I emailed that I thought made the comment, said:
