20 Bacon Recipes From 14 Cuisines.

Cured and usually smoked pork that works as both an ingredient and a cooking fat. Start it in a cold pan so the fat renders before the edges scorch, then use that fat to build the rest of the dish. Streaky cuts crisp best; back bacon stays meatier and suits sandwiches. Beyond breakfast plates it seasons carbonara, chowders, braised greens and bean pots. Watch the salt level of anything it goes into, since cheap bacon can be heavily brined.
