Easy Crispy Bacon Recipe

img_2118

It was Sunday morning. I was productive all morning and then as I was walking my doggie, I started to have a peculiar craving for bacon, which I don’t get often. Through most of my life I have avoided bacon because I used to think it was bad for me. But since I’ve been on the ketogenic diet for the better half of this year, whose main tenet is severe carbohydrate restriction which must be replaced with fat and protein, I have to remind myself that it’s okay to eat things like bacon!

So in celebration of my waning guilt for this delicious food, I will share with you how I make crispy bacon easily with no mess or splatter. Also, there’s no need to preheat or use an oven.

How To Make Crispy Bacon Easily On The Stove Without Any Mess Or Splatter

If your bacon is in the freezer, use the “defrost” setting on your microwave and a 1lb package should be thawed out in just 2-3 minutes.

First, open the package and chop all the slices perpendicularly. You don’t even have to separate the slices or remove them from the package. Just put it on a cutting board, cut off the top plastic and slice everything up while holding them together with your hands. ProTip: Use a smooth (not serrated) knife when cutting meat and it will cut easily.
Instead of a pan, use a tall pot, such as this one.
Instead of a pan, find the tallest pot you got. This way nothing will splatter.
Throw it all in the pot.
Throw it all in the pot and turn the heat to high and don’t put a lid on. Don’t bother with trying to separate the stuck slices together yet cause it’s easier to do after it cooks a bit.

This is how it will look after several minutes. It will simply cook/boil in its own fat. By this point, you could just use a ladel or tongs to separate the pieces. Other than that, there’s no need to stir it.

It takes a long time for it to go from soft to crispy, but a relatively short time to go from crispy to burnt. So when it starts to look dark and crispy like this, it’s time to take it out so it doesn’t burn. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the bacon and let the fat drain.

When the grease has drained for a moment, it will look like this. Put a paper towel over the plate and, put it on the plate.

You could tuck the edges of the paper-towel underneath to make it look presentable. And that’s it! Ta-da!

I hope you enjoyed that. For more simple recipes, check out my blog post on what I actually eat. It will help you understand how to reappropriate foods so that you could avoid the carbs or conform to the ketogenic diet. Hope that helps and let me know how it goes or if you got any tips!
