Mine for the mac and cheese ones held up pretty well …I actually had to break them on purpose to eat them. The salad ones were a bit more fragile. My guess is that it may be based on the type of bacon you buy and the amount that you overlap them, so if you’re wanting a sturdier bowl I’d go with the overlapping and smaller prep bowl base. Yum!

How well do the cups hold up? I’m afraid that they’ll get very crispy and whenever I poke my fork in to eat, I’ll crack the bacon cup and the whole thing will fall apart in a (delicious) mess.

I recommend pig candy for one of your pounds of bacon: liberally coat bacon with brown sugar and fry up in a large nonstick pan, turning frequently. The pan will become a seething mass of bubbling sugar and bacon fat. When the pan begins to get quiet the bacon should almost be done, remove to a silpat or tin foil. Immediately pour remaining sugar onto another silpat in a jelly roll pan. The fat will separate off and you should spread the remaining sugar as flat as possible. This makes a bacon hard candy that’s pretty tasty for snacking in the kitchen. The pig candy is awesome as is or crumbled to top donuts, in maple ice cream or in toffee instead of nuts. For obvious reasons I only make this about 3 times a year as my friends and I can go through about 3 pounds in one sitting. !!!
