How water can make your bacon crispier

There are many ways to cook bacon. Some methods are better than others. Our bacon is cooked in the oven. Sure, it takes some time, but, it’s less messy, cooks evenly, and is perfectly crispy.

You can cook it in the microwave if you really want to; we don’t necessarily recommend it. Many people prefer to pan fry their bacon. And, that’s the next best option to the oven, especially if you just need a few pieces or are short on time. I mean, when are you really only going to need a few bacon pieces?

A TikTok video, however, claims that we’re pan frying our bacon all wrong, and we were as surprised as you.

You mean pan frying? Evidently not. When I first saw this video, I was skeptical. I was skeptical at first. Who is this guy? And what do they know about bacon cooking? Second, I wonder why you would add it. WaterWhat’s your bacon?

After a little research, I discovered that Christopher Wallace is the creator of FlavorGod, a seasoning brand. His recipes featuring one or two of his famed seasonings are popular and he has thousands of viewers on TikTok.

However, the bacon hack in question doesn’t require any special seasoning.–just thick-cut bacon, a frying pan, and good ol’ H2O.

How adding water to the pan works

Wallace pan-fries his bacon while adding water to the saucepan.

“Adding water to bacon while cooking does two things,”He claims. “It makes crispy bacon and also keeps your bacon from splattering.”

America’s Test Kitchen agrees with this method. Bryan Roof cooks his bacon using water. “Here’s a technique for making [bacon] crisp and tender, instead of dry and crumbly.”

The method here, similar to Wallace’s method, is to cover the bacon with water and cook on high heat. Once the water has boiled, reduce the heat to medium. Once the water has simmered away, continue to cook on medium-low until it’s browned.

“What you’re left with is plump bacon that’s perfectly crisp.”

We may use this method next summer for crispy and delicious BLTs.
