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.
1 Turn the oven on and set to 400 degrees. Do not wait for the oven to preheat. Go ahead and place the pan in the oven.  Cook the bacon for 12-17 minutes. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your bacon, and how long it takes for you oven to come to temperature. Start checking your bacon around 10 minutes to ensure your bacon doesnât burn. (Nothing worse than burnt bacon!)
