4. Cook Low and Slow
Set your burner to medium heat.
As the pot warms, the bacon gradually releases its fat. Stir every so often with tongs or a wooden spoon to keep pieces from sticking and ensure even cooking.
✅ Pro Tip: Patience pays off. A slow cook yields the crunchiest bacon.
5. Drain and Devour
Once the bacon reaches your desired crispness, use your tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer it to paper towels for draining.
