Frying Method
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon strips in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the underside is crispy. Flip the bacon and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes until the other side is crispy.

Baking Method
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.

Microwaving Method
Place 3-4 bacon strips on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels. Cover with another paper towel. Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes, checking for doneness. Adjust time as needed based on the wattage of your microwave.
