Yesterday I was talking to Aunt Chris and she told me something about bacon I didn't know. I looked up what she said to share it with yall.

Bacon
Coat bacon in flour before cooking it, and it will not shrink as much.

To keep bacon slices from sticking together, roll the package into a tube shape and secure with a rubber band before refrigerating.

When you freeze bacon, there's no waiting for thawing if you arrange the strips flat, slice by slice, on wax paper, then roll them up. Put them in a plastic bag in the freezer. To use, unroll and peel off the necessary number of slices.

Fry bacon ahead of time. Drain, then wrap in wax paper. Freeze them in a plastic bag or other freezer container. Reheat briefly in a skillet.

To keep fresh, wrap in a vinegar-soaked cloth, then in wax paper.

To prevent bacon from curling, dip the strips in cold water before frying.

Bacon will lie flat in the pan if you prick it thoroughly with a fork as it fries.
