Bacon 101

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Leslie Blythe 2 comments

Here is an easy way to cook bacon with less splatter.
Place the bacon (in strips or cut into pieces) and just enough water to cover it in a skillet over high heat. When the water reaches a boil, lower the heat to medium. Once all of the water has simmered away, turn down the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp and well browned. This way, the meat plumps up as it cooks instead of shriveling, leaving the bacon pleasantly crisp, not tough or brittle. Also, there is less splatter on your cooktop!
