Preparation
Start by selecting high-quality bacon strips for the best flavor.
Cooking on Stovetop
1. Place the bacon slices in a cold skillet, ensuring they do not overlap. 2. Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom side is crispy. 3. Flip the bacon slices and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until crispy. 4. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Cooking in the Oven
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. 3. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the rack. 4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness. 5. Remove from the oven and let cool on the rack.
