The Secret to Flawlessly Cooked Bacon
Surprisingly, expert chefs advocate cooking bacon in a cold pan rather than preheating it, which yields optimal results. Contrary to the widespread practice of oiling and preheating the pan, beginning with a hard pan ensures slow, even cooking – the ultimate technique for preparing bacon to perfection.
This approach facilitates the gradual rendering of the fat, resulting in consistently textured, evenly cooked bacon strips instead of the unevenly cooked tidbits produced by a preheated, oiled pan. Moreover, avoid overlapping the bacon strips when initiating the process with a cold pan.
