The Bacon press, or how my OCD expresses at breakfast

Attempting to make “perfectly flat” bacon.

I hope you’re happy.

ps- for the kitchen minimalists, I’m pressing the bacon in a cast iron pan with a slightly smaller cast iron pan pressing on top. yes I do have a square bacon press given to me by dear mum, but let’s not joke about that.

Jews don’t eat bacon just like catholics wait until marriage and never use condoms.

It’s quite possible that my jewish friends eat more pork than my non-jewish friends. Some really care about it. Others care about it on their chosen sabbath. Likely a majority simply DGAF and eat the precious meat candy known as bacon.

@jlw is being decidedly anti-marketing here by not telling Smash that you can kick a percentage of any amazon purchase BB’s way simply by adding their affiliate tag
[ &tag=happyexposure-20 ] to the end of any standard amazon URL.

So you could in-fact give BB a cut while rendering jlw’s product suggestion moot by skipping the middle-cooker with a purchase of Tactical Bacon, pre-cooked with a shelf life of 10 years.

So a URL that would ordinarily look like “http://www.amazon.com/CMMG-Tactical-Cooked-Bacon-9-Ounce/dp/B003RC5FQ2/” becomes “http://www.amazon.com/CMMG-Tactical-Cooked-Bacon-9-Ounce/dp/B003RC5FQ2/&tag=happyexposure-20

If there’s a bunch of other crud in the URL after the product code bit [ B003RC5FQ2/ ] you can just strip all that and add the tag.

PS: whatever happened to… boiboi-20 or thewire06-20 or … there was another one.

PPS: on second thought, maybe we should match the product to the referer code?
happyexposure? YES PLEASE!

Got monster-sized BB T-shirts, thanks. They’re great. :smiley:

Perfect, cheers!

There’s a lot of random crap that the Australia Tax is well and truly evident on, and anything I can do to make Gerry Harvey and his ilk into miserable bunnies is a Good Thing.

I am those guy’s worst nightmare. I’ll frequently buy at brick-and-mortar stores (cause I’d rather someplace to take whatever back to if it stuff up), but only after finding the cheapest possible price anywhere, then asking for them to beat it and then I play their lowest price against their competitors. If one store doesn’t play ball try the next one. Eventually you’ll get a salesperson that realises what you’re doing and rightfully doesn’t care about the store’s profitability, who will give you an awesomely low price.

Doesn’t work for books though, which is probably what I’ve bought most on Amazon.

Providing that what you want is stocked. I’m an outlier in virtually everything. Nothing in most shops either fits or works properly for me. :frowning:

Typical situation for me is that a shop will be prepared to order something in (which takes usually about 6 weeks) if I pay up-front for it and commit to buying something before I try/see it. And for this, they’ll only charge me about 3 times the amount I can get the same item for online, which can be to my doorstep delivered in 6 days.

I can only assume that they get the definition of “service” from a book about animal husbandry.

Yep, same… Thankfully most of the oddball crap I want I can find on dx or ali express and otherwise my purchases are usually pretty utilitarian so, for the most part, I can figure out ways to make anything fit.
