Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Thick-cut bacon slices
Instructions
1. Start by gathering your ingredients and equipment. You'll need a pack of thick-cut bacon slices, a large skillet or griddle, a plate, paper towels, and tongs.
2. Place the skillet or griddle on the stovetop, and set the heat to medium. Allow the pan to warm up for about a minute to ensure an even cooking surface.
3. Carefully arrange the bacon slices in a single layer in the skillet or griddle. Make sure the pieces do not overlap to promote even cooking.
4. Allow the bacon to cook undisturbed for about 4-6 minutes, depending on your preferred level of crispiness. You will notice the fat rendering and the edges begin to curl.
5. Using tongs, carefully flip the bacon slices to cook on the other side. Allow this side to cook for another 4-6 minutes, again depending on desired doneness.
6. If the pan becomes too hot or the bacon starts to burn, reduce the heat slightly to maintain control over the cooking process.
7. Once the bacon has reached your preferred level of crispiness, use the tongs to transfer the slices to a plate lined with paper towels. The paper towels will absorb any excess grease.
8. Let the bacon rest for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly and crisp up further.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Pair with eggs, pancakes, or enjoy it on its own as a savory snack.
