How people cook with it
Uncured bacon is a versatile ingredient that adds savory flavor to many dishes. It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into various recipes.
- Breakfast side dish
- Sandwich topping
- Salad ingredient
- Flavoring for soups
To cook, place slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is reached. Drain on paper towels to remove excess fat. For oven baking, arrange slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the slices and your preferred level of crispness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike conventional bacon, uncured bacon does not contain added synthetic nitrates or nitrites. This means the curing process relies on natural ingredients. The flavor profile is generally similar, but some may notice a subtle difference in taste due to the absence of artificial curing agents.

How to keep the rest
