Depending on how I feel, I cook it various ways! I have baked in on a rack in the oven, or just on a cookie sheet. I have fried it in a frying pan. I've fried it adding water. I've cooked it on the flat griddle, and the griddle with the rack. I've microwaved it. We've even cooked it on the gas grill outside. Unfortunately, I don't know how to avoid splatters, without constantly keeping it covered. I will say that every method/way I've cooked it has been satisfactory. We like it just short of crispy, and definitely no burn on it.
