Bacon actually stumps some people, and it shouldn't. Here are a few tips to help you not ruin this tasty and popular item.
If cooking on the stove top, cook it slowly. Medium low heat is best. That will render lots of fat, which means you get crispy bacon. When you open the package of bacon, with a sharp knife cut the bacon so it's only half as long. It will fit more appropriately into your pan. It also works best for sandwiches at that length.
If your oven is free, then this is the easiest way to cook bacon. Set it to 375 and layer slices into a sheet pan. Watch it closely after about 15 minutes. You won't have to flip it and you won't get bacon grease all over your kitchen. Just be very careful removing it from the oven. That grease is very hot and could hurt you if you spill.
In either case, extra bacon (??? there is such a thing ???) can be stored, once cooled in a ziploc bag with a napkin or folded paper towel to absorb grease. You can microwave it for 30 seconds to have hot bacon whenever you desire.
