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.
