Dietz & Watson Thick Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon
What it is
This is a package of thick-cut bacon that has been smoked over applewood. The smoking process imparts a distinct flavor and aroma. The thickness of the cut means each slice is substantial, offering a satisfying chew and a good balance of meat and fat. It is ready to be cooked and enjoyed as part of a meal.
How people cook with it
Bacon is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways. Its savory flavor and crispy texture make it a popular addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Crisped for breakfast
- Crumbled over salads
- Added to sandwiches
- Incorporated into pasta dishes
To cook this bacon, place the slices in a cold skillet. This allows the fat to render slowly, resulting in crispier bacon. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of crispness. For a less messy option, you can bake the bacon on a rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
The thick cut provides a more substantial bite compared to regular or thin-cut bacon. The applewood smoking process lends a subtly sweet and fruity note to the smoky flavor, differentiating it from bacon smoked with other woods like hickory or mesquite.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families who appreciate a flavorful and satisfying bacon experience will enjoy this product.
How to keep the rest
