You’ve been frying your bacon all wrong and the key to the perfect crispy rashers is already in your kitchen
WE all love some good old fashioned bacon, whether you like yours as part of a full English or keep it simple with some bread, butter and sauce.
But according to one foodie there’s a way to make bacon extra crispy, and it’s a total game changer for your Sunday morning breakfast.
Posting on TikTok, Pepper PH shared a video showing how well the cooking method works and it’s blowing people’s minds.
According to the food fan, you should start by adding the bacon rashers to a cold pan and pour in enough water to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
Then cook the bacon on a medium to high heat until the water vanishes.
Continue to fry on a low to medium heat until the bacon is as crispy as you like it.
“Sounds crazy, but trust us, it’s the best way to get perfectly crisp (and splatter free!) bacon,” they captioned the clip.
So would you give the water method a go?
Fellow foodies were left divided by the water method with some saying the use it as well, and others staying loyal to using oil or butter.
One commented: “I’m trying this but it feels wrong.”
A second said: “What, oh hell no where have I been? I’m definitely trying this now.”
“Works perfectly had a BCE this morning and usually bake bacon for crispiness,” another said.
And another said: “I don’t know why but I use a lot of water to cook bacon, more than that actually.”
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “Just say you don’t know how to cook bacon and save us heating water.”
“This is f**king disgusting,” another slammed.
“Nooooooo brother,” someone else commented.
