Making perfect crispy bacon at home is really simple. Follow these steps and you’ll have perfect bacon every time (and even better it’s really easy and takes almost no effort!).
I love bacon, it’s so versatile. I’ll happily eat it for breakfast lunch or dinner (I have seen a few recipes about that also use it in cakes but that’s a step further than I’ve gone so far – although you never know!).
The problem is that I always seem to cook it to go along with lots of other things (especially if I’m making a cooked breakfast) so I don’t have time to keep an eye on it in the frying pan whilst juggling the eggs, beans, toast, tea… you get the idea.
- It takes no effort – put it in, take it out – that’s about it.
- It doesn’t need lots of attention – perfect when you’re cooking lots of things at the same time.
- It always turns out really nicely.
If you’re making a cooked breakfast you should also take a look at my guides to making perfect poached eggs and a healthy fried egg.
