- Salad addition
- Flavorful ingredient
To cook this bacon, lay the thick slices in a single layer in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. For a less messy method, you can bake the bacon on a rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Drain on paper towels before serving to remove excess grease. The thickness of the slices means they may take a little longer to cook than thinner cuts, but the result is a wonderfully tender and flavorful bite.
How it differs from similar foods
The thick slicing distinguishes this bacon from standard cuts, providing a chewier texture and a more pronounced flavor. The applewood smoking offers a different aromatic and taste profile compared to other wood types like hickory or mesquite, often perceived as slightly sweeter.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy a hearty and flavorful bacon for various culinary applications.
How to keep the rest
