To enjoy this bacon, simply heat it until it reaches your desired crispness. You can do this in a microwave for a very quick option, or in a skillet or oven for a slightly crispier result. For microwave heating, place the slices on a paper towel-lined plate and heat for about 30-60 seconds, depending on your microwave's power. In a skillet, heat over medium heat for a minute or two per side. In the oven, arrange slices on a baking sheet and heat at 375°F (190°C) for 5-10 minutes.
