Ugh…I have coming up with these sorts of things.

In the meantime, while I attempt to be clever and come up with something unique…here’s a quick recipe on how to make perfect bacon strips.

Step 1 – Add Enough Water to Cover & Cook on High
Place your bacon in a cold skillet on the stovetop and turn the heat to high. Add enough water to cover the bacon slices. This keeps the temperature low and even so the bacon doesn’t dry out.

Step 2 – Let the Water Come to a Boil
When the water reaches a boil (212°F/100°C), turn the heat to medium. At this point, the fat from the bacon has almost completely rendered and you’re less likely to burn it.

Step 3 – Let the Water Boil Off
Once it’s all gone, turn the heat to medium-low.

Step 4 – Let the Bacon Get Crispy
Now here’s where the bacon starts to crisp up. Since it’s been cooked in water, it won’t get tough or cook unevenly as it starts to brown.
