Method 2: Skillet Bacon
Instructions
- Place the bacon slices in a cold skillet in a single layer.
- Turn the heat to medium.
- Allow the bacon to cook slowly, turning occasionally for even browning.
- Continue cooking until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness.
- Transfer to paper towels before serving.
Method 3: The Water-Start Trick
Instructions
- Arrange the bacon in a skillet.
- Add just enough water to lightly cover the bottom of the pan.
- Cook over medium heat until the water completely evaporates.
- Once the water is gone, continue cooking the bacon in its rendered fat until perfectly crisp.
The water helps render the fat more gently, resulting in evenly cooked bacon with a crisp texture and less chance of burning.
A few simple tips can make the difference between good bacon and truly perfect bacon every single time.
