Bigger bacon, quicker bacon, and bakin' bacon.

Here are 3 things you should know so you can get the most out of your bacon eating experience. 

Get bigger bacon:

• When a strip of bacon is cooked in a frying pan, it shrinks and shrivels up into a tiny bacon.
• To reduce shrinkage, rinse your bacon under cold water before frying.

Want quicker bacon to satisfy those moments when you need it immediately?

• Cook a large batch of bacon using the aforementioned method if you want.
• Freeze the delicious pieces inside plastic sandwich bags individually or in pairs, trios, or whatever your heart desires.
• When your bacon craving arises, grab a bag or two of bacon from your bacon hoard and microwave for a few seconds

Bakin' bacon if you want to cook a lot of tasty bacon:

If you're making a dish that needs a lot of bacon, or is made up of a strong bacon base, use your oven.

1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
2. Use a large rimmed pan, make sure the sides are high enough so the grease doesn't leak out.
3. Line the pan with foil and evenly space the bacon so they have room to cook.
4. Place on the middle rack of your oven for 6-7 minutes for thin-sliced bacon and or up to 9-11 minutes for thick-sliced.
5. You don't have to flip them, or turn them like some kind of primitive aborigine cooking a wild boar in the middle of the woods.
6. Drain them, serve and enjoy!
