To cook, place the bacon strips in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. Drain on paper towels to remove excess fat. This bacon can also be baked in the oven on a baking sheet for more even cooking and less mess. For a sweeter profile, consider glazing it with a touch of maple syrup during the last few minutes of cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
