I've never timed it. I don't think it's ever been eight minutes though. I usually take them out when the ends start to split a little bit.

I prefer the consistency of it nuked. It's closer to what you get baking bacon (if you've ever baked bacon). It's well-cooked, but not particularly crispy or charred. If you have a tray, the grease drips away from the bacon, as well.

I actually found some ground chicken at the store yesterday. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. I'd just never seen it.

I also bought a bottle of wine called Pink Truck. I recently acquired a wine rack to hang on my wall, so I bought a couple of bottles of wine to put in it.

:shrug: I'm usually too hungry when boiling hotdogs to wait that long...you can't get sick from eating undercooked HD's can you? can you?

I believe mass-produced hotdogs have already been cooked, but I may be wrong about that.

Bacon should be crispy. Who wants a flimsy piece of meat?

Who said it was flimsy.

Although, frankly, if it's going into a sandwich or a burger, than I do want it to be flimsy. I especially dont' want crispy bacon in that circumstance.

Well, if it's not crispy....

aren't all chickens ground chickens? I'm sooooooooo bad

It's not flimsy. It has a solid consistency. I tend to think of it as bacon cooked perfectly. Done enough so that the nasty fat isn't gooey, but not burned and crumbly.

You don't like flimsy meat, do you?

This should be interesting.

I have always thought the same but it doesn't make them any less repulsive.

:hmmm: this is a dichotomous question
