To cook the bacon, place the slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired level of crispness. As the bacon cooks, fat will render out. You can drain this fat or leave some in the pan to cook other ingredients. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. The rendered fat can be saved for later use in cooking.
