First, welcome to the list. Re flipping things, I'm not the best with the spatula. I keep a plate to the right of the pan I'm using on the stovetop and use a fork to grab what I want to flip. I transfer it to the plate, flip it there, and then put it back in the frying pan. I can manage to flip with the spatula in the pan if it's one thing, but can't manage if there's more than one thing; the flipped thing gets on to the other stuff and I have trouble moving things back to their own place i.e., sausage patties, spam, etc.
Re cooking bacon, I do it in a foil-lined pan in the oven for 12 minutes or so at 400. I add time on if necessary. No flipping, and I get crisp edges and soft middles. Seeing A I has a color identifying channel, and I use it to help me work out whether things like biscuits are the rright color.
