Crispy bacon is undeniably more satisfying, but getting it just right without burning can be tricky. Fortunately, popular chef Roice Bethel has a foolproof method to make perfectly crispy bacon every time, and it doesn’t require frying or baking in an oven. Roice, known as @noflakeysalt on Instagram, revealed this clever technique to his 378,000 followers in a video.
The video was titled: “Evenly crispy bacon every time!” In it, he detailed his technique and explained why it works so well. Roice started off by saying: “If you want evenly crispy bacon, you need to boil it. I know that sounds like it wouldn’t work, but it does.”
He broke down the process of perfecting this bacon recipe to help his followers understand. “There are two parts to every strip of bacon; there's the muscle which is the dark part and the fat which is the light part.
“The muscle cooks extremely quickly, the fat takes longer time to render out,” he continued. If you want to follow his method, start by placing the bacon strips “into a cold pan” and then adding “add just enough water to cover your bacon”.
"The water prevents the temperature from getting too high which gives the fat time to render out,” Roice explained. “So the meat and the fat finish cooking at the same exact time.
"Once the water completely evaporates, the bacon will get nice and crispy, and the meat won't get overcooked or burnt. The fat is perfectly rendered so it's nice and crispy [too]," he shared.
