Cover bacon with layer of water. Let boil until all of the water evaporates off. Cook bacon normally. Delicious!

Unnecessary. Bacon cooks perfectly from a cold pan slowly heating up.
Less splatter, less time, less flavour lost.
Don’t do this folks 🥲

Or just put it in the oven, it turns quite crispy. You don’t have to resort to this. After all, the best bacon is achieved with bakin’.

You don’t need so much water. Just like 3 or 4 table spoons is enough to render out most of the fat.
In case anyone wonders why this works, the water helps transfer the heat of the pan to the bacon so it cooks evenly. It helps prevent burning because as long as water exists in the pan, it’ll be very hard to get the bacon over 100C. The hot water helps render out the fat which makes the bacon much crunchier.

Yes, indeed. I’ve seen this on an episode of America’s Test Kitchen.

Hey!! This is a secret 🤫 However you don’t need to boil it in water, I usually only add like a couple tbsps of water

I throw it in the oven starting cold. It works out well. Easy, no spatter, flat pieces

I stick mine in the oven now. No flipping or splattering grease, comes out delicious and perfect, can’t believe it took me til 40 to realize that was an option.

I cook bacon in the oven. Flip after 15 minutes, take out around 25 minutes. Perfect bacon.

I tried this and it took 48 business hours for it to cook. Back to the oven for my bacon.

Bacon is like the easiest thing to cook. Put some tin foil down on baking sheet, plop some pieces on there and chuck into the oven until you can smell it. Eat bacon. When you come back the grease will have hardened, so just throw away the tin foil. Voila!

They aren’t wrong actually, this is just food science.

You get crispy bacon, but you evaporate away all the flavour.
So if you want less tasty bacon that looks good and makes a noise for a microphone, be my guest?

Believe it or not, totally the right way to cook bacon.
Cooks evenly and it will come out crispy but not overly crunchy… basically perfect.

This is my go-to method, especially for thick-cut. It’s also a great opportunity to season the bacon if you want to. Perfect for when you have lots of other things going on because it’s impossible to burn it while there’s water in there.
