On Cutting The Bacon In Half, or, How To Cook Bacon The Easy Way

Preparing bacon (and eggs) for breakfast this morning, cutting the bacon in half (not lengthwise, but crosswise), Marash Girl remembered to thank Grandma Jennie for teaching her how to cook, and, in this case, how to cook bacon evenly and quickly, without leaving the strips of bacon half raw or half burned!!! Here's the secret. Simple but effective. Before opening the package of bacon, cut the package in half widthwise, so that each half has bacon strips of about the same size. Remove the bacon from the one half, and replace the other half package back into the refrigerator, or freezer, first sealing the open end, of course. In this way, the bacon strips you have remaining will fit easily into your frying pan, and you will have an easy time tossing and turning the bacon until the strips are evenly cooked. No more burned bacon . . . unless, of course, you are called away to an urgent telephone call and forget about that bacon sizzling in the frying pan above the flame on top of your stove! N.B. Oh, how we miss you, Mummy (Grandma Jennie)!
