Culinary expert McKenna Pulda reveals the secrets to cooking perfect bacon. She emphasizes starting with room-temperature bacon rather than cold from the fridge for even cooking. Pulda recommends using a cast-iron skillet, ensuring good heat distribution and crispy results. Cooking at low to medium heat prevents shrinkage and delivers flavorful, crispy bacon. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain even cooking, and stay away from air fryers, which can lead to messes due to fat splattering.
"One common mistake made when cooking bacon in cast iron is frying bacon that's coming directly out of the fridge. STOP!"
"That being said, if you cook the bacon before it is brought to room temperature, then that is a sure invitation for unevenly cooked bacon."
