To cook, place the slices in a single layer in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. This usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook it in the oven on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Drain on paper towels after cooking to remove excess fat. It is important to cook it thoroughly before consuming.
