To cook, place the bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is reached. As the bacon cooks, fat will render out. You can drain off excess fat as needed. For a less messy option, bake the bacon on a rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the slices and your preferred level of crispness.
How it differs from similar foods
