To cook, place slices in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally. As the fat renders, the bacon will become crisp. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. For a less messy option, bake bacon in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven. The rendered fat can be saved and used for cooking other foods, adding a smoky, savory note.
