Bakin' Bacon

Yes! You can cook bacon as a nudist
​
If you have ever read an article, interview, or any type of media related to nudism (or naturism), there are always some cliche jokes included. One of the most frequent is usually something along the lines of ‘you probably don’t want to cook bacon when your naked’

It totally annoys me! There is some truth to it however - if you are naked, hot oil or grease splatter can be a danger.

I’m Rob - the #NudistFoodist - and I offer this practical solution that in my opinion, actually produces the best results for cooking bacon.

Bake bacon in the oven!
​
It’s that simple - no splatter, less mess, great results, and easy clean up. (And, of course, you can be naked with no risk to that overall tan you’ve been working on all summer.)

First, let’s talk about bacon. Bacon is a culinary gift from God, but let’s be honest, it’s not that great for your health and we probably shouldn’t eat it that frequently. So, I think investing in a quality product is key. Two pieces of the best thick cut, apple wood smoked bacon that you can find is worth it. Skip the thin cut crumbly supermarket bacon that you probably grew up eating and invest in best quality thick cut bacon you can find. Then enjoy - in moderation of course =)

Bakin’ Bacon:
Here’s the simple process to cook bacon in the oven. It’s super easy, quick, and nudist friendly.

Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.

​Place strips of bacon side by side.

Place in a 400F oven for 10-15 minutes. This is the trickiest part - depending on your oven and the bacon you are cooking, times can vary widely. After 10 mins be sure to check regularly on the bacon, it can go from flimsy and underdone to charred black in no time flat.

Remove from oven at your desired doneness and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

I like bacon that is crisp, but still slightly pliable, sort of a Goldilocks range, not too crispy, not too chewy - somewhere right in the middle.

Don’t forget to save the extra bacon grease. Drain into a storage container, or use right away to cook some eggs. The possibilities are endless!

I don’t know why anyone, nudist or otherwise, would cook bacon any other way. Give it a try and let me know how it works out.

For those who may be new to naturism, just trying it out, or have a reluctant partner or housemate - making breakfast ‘au natural’ is a great way to start. Assuming you sleep naked, waking up and spending a little extra ‘naked time’ in the morning can help normalize clothes free living.

Taste the freedom of cooking naked.
