The shoemaking profession makes a number of appearances in popular culture, such as in stories about shoemaker's elves, and the proverb The shoemaker's children go barefoot.. The patron saint of shoemakers is Saint Crispin.hefs and cooks sometimes use the term shoemaker as an insult to others who have prepared sub-standard food, possibly by overcooking, implying that the chef in question has made his or her food as tough as shoe leather or hard leather shoe soles, and thus may be in the wrong profession.
Re: deep fried bacon. if your oil isn't smoking/shimmering, it's not hot enough. I will agree that oil temp is CRITICAL to good deep frying, but if your oil is smoking it's burning and is TOO hot. 375 is plenty hot for most things like fries, wings, fish, etc.
Bake the thin-cut bacon for 12-17 minutes for thin-cut, or until desired doneness. I myself like my bacon very crisp, so I bake it 16-18 minutes. For thick bacon, bake for 10 minutes, then turn the bacon with tongs. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12-17 minutes longer or until the bacon is browned.The bacon is done when the bubbles on it become smaller and it makes less noise.That's a great way to tell when any food is done frying, actually!or thick bacon, bake for 10 minutes, then turn the bacon with tongs.
