Plumrose Old Fashioned Hardwood Smoked Sliced Bacon
What it is
This is a package of sliced bacon that has been smoked using hardwood. The smoking process imparts a distinct flavor and aroma to the pork. The slices are typically thin and uniform, making them easy to cook and use in various dishes. This product is a common choice for breakfast and as an ingredient in many recipes.
How people cook with it
Bacon is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into a wide range of culinary creations.
- Crispy breakfast side
- Sandwich topping
- Salad enhancer
- Flavorful cooking fat
To cook, place the bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. As the fat renders, you can drain it off if preferred. The rendered fat can also be saved and used for cooking other foods, adding a smoky pork flavor. Alternatively, bacon can be baked in the oven on a rack set over a baking sheet for even cooking and easier cleanup.
How it differs from similar foods
Old fashioned bacon often refers to a thicker cut compared to standard supermarket bacon. The hardwood smoking process can also contribute a deeper, more complex smoky flavor profile than other smoking methods. This can result in a chewier texture when cooked, especially if not rendered completely crisp.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use this type of bacon for its flavor and texture.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining bacon in its original packaging or an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume it within a few days to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Ensure it is kept cold to preserve its quality.
