« Cats are Democrats, Dogs are Republicans | Main | Good read: 'Geldof and Bush: Diary From the Road,' by Geldof » February 28, 2008Brilliant: Bowls made of crisp baconBrilliant. Bacon bowls. Drape bacon over foil-covered forms (muffin tins, bowls), bake and carefully unmold. Fill with scrambled eggs is my first thought, but not martha chose a breadless BLT. Due to bacon shrinkage, it's bacon overload -- 6 slices of bacon for a muffin-size pile of lettuce and tomato, increased from 4, which shrunk enough to leave windows for fleeing salad -- so you might consider a wider, shallower form. One commenter suggested turkey bacon, which doesn't shrink, but seemed concerned it might burn. (Watch it!) Or try this tip from a commenter which, if it works, would let you use less bacon: If you run bacon under cold water before frying, it won't shrink. I bet if you refrigerate or put the bacon cups in the freezer to get really cold before baking, it'll reduce shrinkage. "not martha" credits Bacon Placemats at Instructables for the inspiration. This can be slipped into a normal blt sandwich, but I'm not sure I'd go for what looks like unnecessary weaving and density just to hide it in a sandwich. And as placemats... nah. I like the containers better.
