Ive always had a love-hate relationship with cooking bacon.
After frying up a few meager slices, it feels like the whole kitchen could use a scrub.

Cooking bacon in a little water helps the fat render before the bacon burns.
And for my salt lovers out there, dont worry!
It doesnt strip out flavor or so much salt that youre left with bland bacon.

The bacon shouldnt be swimming in wateronly add a quarter cup or so.
Then, turn the heat to medium and bide your time.
Finally, transfer your beautiful bacon to a paper towel to drain.
It will crisp up a bit more as it cools.
And as for my stovetop?
Its still not the cleanest (who among us?
), but its not the bacons fault.
