Cooking Options
You can cook bacon using one of the following methods: 1. **Pan-Frying**: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the bacon strips in the skillet without overlapping. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until crispy. 2. **Baking**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy, flipping halfway through. 3. **Microwaving**: Place bacon strips between paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for about 4-6 minutes, checking for doneness at intervals.

Final Touches
Once cooked to your desired crispiness, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
