The Blunder of Not Storing Fried Bacon in the Freezer
While it’s rare to have leftover bacon after cooking, storing any prepared strips is crucial to ensure they stay fresh and delicious. The first step is to avoid storing them in the refrigerator and instead place them in the freezer to extend their shelf life.
However, more than simply placing the meat in the freezer is needed to guarantee freshness. For the best results, wrap each strip of bacon in a single sheet of paper towel, then place them into a ziplock bag. When stored correctly, this method will keep the bacon fresh for up to six weeks.
