You can cook it in the microwave too also on a griddle.
If you plan to make a stew or soup boiling the bacon with the soup would add more flavor vs cooking before hand in a microwave.
Boil it with ham or bacon for seasoning.
The question should be, 'Is it ham, or is it bacon'.
The time it takes to cook bacon and eggs depends on how you want them to turn out. Typical scrambles egg and fried to crisp bacon takes about 20 minutes I guess. Depends on your definition of what a good crispy bacon is and fluffy scrambled egg is.
You cannot boil bacon. It will kill you unless it is fried or grilled.' You can absolutely boil bacon and it will NOT kill you. You can also fry or grill bacon but one of the most popular Irish dishes (bacon and cabbage) is boiled and I've been living on it for a while and haven't kicked the bucket yet so I think you're good. Boiling depends on obviously the size of the joint of meat, I'd say about 2 and a half hours for a 5 lb joint. You can't really over cook it anyways, so I'd say if you're unsure an extra half hour in the pot shouldn't do it any harm.
Boil the bacon for 20 minutes before frying it. For 1 lb. of bacon, separate the slices and boil them all at once in about 8 cups of water. After 20 minutes of boiling, drain the bacon and let sit in the colander for 5 minutes to steam away the remaining water. Then fry as usual. Technically, you could eat this bacon now as it is fully cooked, but most people like it fried (at least to some extent).
Bacon at no time should ever be at room temperature.
