Follow our simple steps to success, whether you’re making a weekend breakfast or a classic BLT.
Steps
- When using the frying method: Start with a cold pan. Lay bacon in a single layer In a large non-stick pan frypan; cut slices in half as needed.
- Use medium heat or lower for a slow, gentle sizzle. Don't rush! Press with spatula frequently to cook fat evenly.
- Flip when browned on bottom. Cook, press, flip to desired crispness.
- For oven method: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Arrange bacon in a single layer; slightly overlapping is fine.
- Place on middle rack. Slices at sheet ends crisp first (it's not strictly necessary to flip bacon). Remove outer slices; cook remaining slices a minute or two longer.
