Cooking - for a new lifestyle (Our Test Kitchen)

Lay slices of bacon on a wire rack in a shallow pan. Bake in hot oven (400F) about 10 minutes, or until the desired crispness. This bacon needs no draining and browns evenly from end to end without curling.  This method is recommended when cooking large quantities because bacon requires less watching and needs no turning at all.

This is a lean meat usually cut in thin slices. Place slices in a heavy skillet and cook over low heat about 5 minutes.  Turn slices frequently. When done, the lean part is a red brown and the fat is a light golden brown.  It rarely requires draining.
