Bacon is traditionally made from long strips of pork belly used in various dishes and cuisines. Especially, it is a joy and delicious treat for breakfast. Bacon can be cooked in a variety of ways, but frying bacon is the traditional method. See the steps below for more information.
Steps
Step 1. Collect the food
Step 2. Let the bacon melt if frozen
Do not defrost it in the microwave, and do not cook it if it is frozen. The bag of bacon can be thawed more quickly in room temperature water if needed.
Step 3. Heat a skillet over high heat
The pan must be very hot before adding the bacon. You can tell when the pan is hot enough by wetting your hand and shaking off the water on it. Water droplets should jump and hiss, turning into steam.
Step 4. Carefully place the bacon in the pan, place them separately from each other, without overlapping
The farther apart the pieces are, the better and faster they will cook.
Step 5. If the bacon starts to smoke, reduce the heat
A little smoke is ok and good.
Step 6. When the bacon begins to curl, turn each piece with a fork
Step 7. For extra crispy bacon, reduce heat to low and cook longer in a skillet with a thick layer of fat
OR, transfer skillet to oven and cook at 150 ° C for about 1/2 hour. This method works great and is suitable for large batches.
Step 8. When the bacon is the desired doneness, transfer each piece to a plate covered with paper towels or newspaper
Turn off the oven! Let the bacon cool and blot out the fat one minute before eating.
