Americans love bacon. The average US resident eats about 9 kilograms of bacon a year, which is a world record. We will tell you how to cook it properly. Bonus - a recipe from Prince Harry (although he is British, he is not indifferent to bacon).
Crisp, crispy bacon - a great addition to scrambled eggs, burgers and toasts, rightly notes Today. How are we going to cook?
In the frying pan
Place bacon strips next to each other on a flat pan with a diameter of about 30. Turn on medium-low heat. When the pan heats up and the bacon starts to cook, periodically turn the pieces using metal tongs (they are more convenient than a regular fork). Fry to the desired degree of readiness, and then shift to a plate covered with paper towels to absorb excess fat.
In the microwave oven
Put on a plate, suitable for a microwave, two or three layers of paper towels. Place the 10 Bacon Strips on top in a single layer so that the oily edges touch the lean. Cover with another paper towel.
Microwave and heat at maximum power for 2 minutes. Then remove and check readiness. If necessary, return the bacon to the microwave for another 1 minute, and again look at the degree of roasting. Repeat until you get the desired readiness.
By the way, the British prince Harry admitted that he was able to cook bacon on his own from the age of ten, and once even taught royal chef Darren McGrady, who had been preparing for the British royal family for 15 years. Cook told Popsugar the following story:
“I remember Harry returning from America - they were in one of the theme parks - and he came into the kitchen with Princess Diana. It was breakfast time. He said, "If you take bacon, put it on a paper towel and put it in the microwave, it becomes crispy and delicious." I replied: “What do you know? You're 10 years old! You have no idea how to cook it. ”
“When he left, I tried it and it worked,” continued the chef. “Prince Harry taught me how to make the tastiest bacon. Can you imagine little Harry teaching an experienced chef in the kitchen? Now I know he is a culinary professional. "
In the oven
Preheat the oven to 200 C. Take a metal baking tray and put the bacon pieces in one layer so that the fat edges touch the lean. Place on top and bake for about 25 minutes, until the bacon is golden and crispy. After 10-15 minutes after the start of preparation, lower the pan to a lower level. Put the finished bacon on a plate covered with a paper towel.
