Bacon is thought as one of the most delicious foods in Western culture. There are numerous sites devoted to this subject. There are even fan clubs. Surprisingly, there are actually Bacon shoes (they are not really made out of Bacon but are rather designed to look as if they have been – do a query if you do not trust my word).
This, perhaps surprising appeal, makes us wonder. Who invented bacon? How to cook bacon? Can you microwave bacon? How to make bacon? Can we do this ourselves? Which are the best bacon recipes? Is Bacon Healthy? Why do people love it so much?
Fortunately, the internet is a wonderful place to look for resources for such information. A quick query reveals that Bacon is simply cured meat that is made from various parts of a pig. There are numerous types of bacon which come from different areas of the pig (its belly, its side, its loins, its shoulder and even its cheeks). Additionally, there are countless methods of making it: it can be fried, boiled, smoked, baked, grilled, used as a component in a salad and in numerous additional methods. And certainly,, bacon can most definitely be microwaved (i.e. using a microwave bacon cooker), and this is a thing people can do on their own.
Because Bacon is prepared from pigs (though in certain countries, non-pork based bacon-like foods are also referred to as bacon, which is in my humble opinion basically does not count), is actually forbidden for consumption for followers of Judaism and Islam. Judaism considers pigs as ‘dirty’ or ‘tainted’ animals and as such, all meats prepared from them are forbidden.
