The Secret to Perfect Bacon
🥓 Let it warm up – Take the bacon out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Cooking cold bacon makes it tough and uneven.
🥓 Use a cast-iron skillet – This ensures even heat, a perfect sear, and crispy, salty edges.
🥓 Cook it low and slow – High heat shocks the bacon and makes it shrink. A low-to-medium heat will cook it evenly without curling up.
🥓 Don’t overcrowd the pan – Give each strip space to crisp up properly.
🚫 Avoid the air fryer! Experts warn that bacon grease drips and smokes, which can lead to splattering and a smoky mess.
