Bacon and eggs is often the first dish many teens, or preteens, try to cook on the stove. I didn't learn to cook eggs and bacon on the stove. I learned on a griddle while working in fast food restaurants. I'd like one of those egg rings to make the perfect shape, or a fried egg. I scramble eggs in the microwave, no problem, no mess. On the stove? I lose half the eggs to a burned conglomerate on the bottom of the pan. My preferred cooking method is on the griddle, beside the sausage, bacon, and gluten free pancakes.
