If you're making bacon for just one or two people, why not pick up a slice or two at the butcher counter instead of those big packs? Not only will it be fresher than the pre-packaged strips, it won't ever go to waste in your fridge.
Mornings a little hectic at your house? When you're doing your weekly meal-prep on Sunday, it doesn't have to be only for lunch and dinner!
Baking bacon is a breeze, especially when you have other dishes cooking on your stovetop. This will save you from grease splatters and the clean-up from cooking in the oven couldn't be easier.
The fat retains the cold longer than the meat, so letting it sit at room temp for 15 minutes before you start cooking will help produce a more evenly cooked piece of bacon.
The bacon needs room to breathe. When you crowd the bacon, it will leave you with a mess of tangled strips of floppy bacon instead of the perfectly crisp strips you know and deserve. So spread that bacon out!
While it might seem like the right thing to do, cooking your bacon at too high a temperature from the start can lead to over-cooked bacon with the fat not adequately rendered
Before you clean up, don't even think about throwing out that bacon fat! That sizzly combination of oil and rendered fat in your pan is perfect for frying potatoes
