Are you tired of having your breakfast ruined by underwhelming pieces of bacon? Well, putting an end to that is surprisingly easy. You only need to make sure to avoid the following mistakes when cooking it.
Buying Thin Bacon
Thin bacon is a recipe for disastrous bacon. Sure, it will get crispier. However, it will also burn easily and lack flavor due to less fat.
Cooking Bacon Straight Out of the Fridge
If you slap pieces of bacon on the pan straight from the fridge, the chances are that they won’t be at their best. Due to low temperature, it will take longer to cook and might not cook evenly. Remember to take the bacon out of the fridge at least 20 minutes before cooking it so it can reach room temperature.
Putting Too Much Bacon in the Pan
Bacon strips need some breathing room when frying to evolve into its best version. If you put too many pieces at once, you’ll overcrowd the pan and cause it to either undercook or fail to get crispy enough.
Cooking in a Hot Pan on High Heat
Finally, you want to start with a cold pan and cook the bacon on low to medium heat. If you start with a hot pan and crank up the heat, the bacon will shrivel and burn the fat without melting it for added flavor.
