What it is

The cooking process has already been completed, making it a convenient option for meals and snacks. The natural smoke flavor is achieved through traditional smoking methods.
How people cook with it
This bacon is a versatile ingredient that can be added to a wide variety of dishes. It offers a quick way to incorporate the savory taste of bacon into your cooking.

To heat, place the bacon strips on a microwave-safe plate and heat for a short duration until warmed through. Alternatively, you can crisp it further by placing it in a skillet over medium heat for a minute or two per side, or by baking it on a sheet pan in a preheated oven. It is already fully cooked, so the goal is simply to warm it or achieve your desired level of crispness.
