Perfectly Crispy and Tender Bacon

This unique method uses water to gently cook bacon, rendering the fat perfectly before crisping. The result is bacon that is plump, pleasantly crisp, and tender, avoiding the common pitfalls of becoming dry or brittle. Chef's tips: (1) Adding water at the start keeps the initial cooking temperature low and gentle, so the meat retains its moisture and stays tender. (2) By the time the water boils, the bacon fat is almost completely rendered, which prevents the meat from burning while you wait for the fat to cook off. (3) This technique results in plump, pleasantly crisp bacon that isn't tough or brittle.
