Tell the kid to smoke pot outside and he won't have to fry bacon to mask the
odor.

Frying bacon is a very common practice for masking both cigarette and
marijuana smoke odors.

Open a window. But there's something wrong with the bacon, I think, if
it 'stinks' up the flat.

No, that's bacon that is already cooked when you buy it - pre-cooked
bacon is raw.

Has anybody tried this precooked bacon? I've seen it in the stores,
but never bought it because the bonus to cooking bacon is that it also
produces bacon grease, which is the best thing for frying eggs in. I
also use bacon grease for sauteeing onions for soups ano other dishes.

To cut down on the aroma, which I love, you may want to invest in one
of those microwavable bacon dishes and nuke it instead. They sell those
dishes at Walmart; they are pretty cheap. I prefer my bacon nuked,
because it doesn't curl up like bacon fried on the stove, and the
grease is collected in the bottom of the tray and there is less mess if
you put a paper towel over the dish before putting it in the microwave.

I've used precooked bacon. It's ok but not really very good. It's paper
thin, not crispy, barely bacon flavor. If I'm gonna clog up my arteries,
better make it count! I nuke regular bacon too.
