To cook this bacon, you can place the slices in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired level of crispness. Alternatively, you can bake the bacon on a rack over a baking sheet in a preheated oven. This method often results in more even cooking and less mess. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease before serving or incorporating it into other recipes. The rendered fat can also be saved for future cooking.
