Cooking instructions

How to cook

How to Cook Your Bacon

Thick, hand rubbed and slow smoked over real applewood, our heritage Duroc bacon is made to be cooked low and patient. The marbling renders into crisp, golden strips with deep smoky flavor and a tender bite in the middle. Here is our recommendation.

In the oven, our recommendation

Heat the oven to 400°F.
Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and lay the strips across the rack in a single layer. The rack lifts the bacon out of its own grease, so the fat drips into the pan and every strip crisps evenly instead of frying in the drippings.
Bake about 20 to 22 minutes, until crisp and deep golden. Every oven runs a little different, so start checking around 18 minutes. For extra even color, flip the strips halfway through.
Let the strips rest on the rack for a minute to finish crisping, then serve. The grease stays in the pan below, easy to pour off and save.

On the stove

Lay the strips in a cold skillet in a single layer.
Set the heat to medium. Starting cold lets the fat render slowly so the bacon cooks evenly and stays flat.
Cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning every couple of minutes, until the edges are crisp and the strips are a deep golden brown.
Drain on a wire rack or paper towels before serving.

What’s the difference between cooking dry cured and uncured bacon?

There is no difference in how you cook them. Same oven temperature, same rack, same timing, same stovetop method. Dry cured bacon carries less water, so it browns a little faster, barely shrinks and stays flat in the pan. Uncured bacon holds a touch more moisture, so it sizzles a bit more and may take an extra minute or two to crisp. Cook both to a deep golden brown and they’re done.

Cook it how you like it

Pull the strips a minute or two early for a chewier bite, or leave them a minute longer for extra crisp. Save the rendered fat for eggs, potatoes or greens.

Frozen, packed in dry ice, at your door.

Best bacon I have ever tasted

Best bacon in the WORLD! Many thanks!

Ordering and delivery went smoothly. This is some of the best bacon in America.

This is the best bacon. You will not be disappointed. The smell and flavor is unbelievable. Makes a great BLT.

Best Bacon with a great flavor. I will order again.

Top quality

Bacon could have had more flavor.

Great bacon!

BY FAR the best bacon made.

Best bacon I have found!

Bacon flavor the way it should be. Cold oven, 400F, 23-27 min depending on oven.

Arrived on time and cold. Best bacon in America.

Always the best. Arrived in perfect condition.

Far superior to the supermarket run of the mill.

A favorite for the whole family!

Great taste. Thick, juicy. I even eat it cold, like a beef stick!

Have not tried as of yet.

Shrinks a good bit but flavor is outstanding.

Very tasty

Freaking Awesome 😎

Excellent. Better than what we have bought at Honey Baked store. You won't be disappointed.

The bacon lives up to its reputation. It is truly the best in the world. We have introduced it to a few lifetime non-pork eaters and they were instantly converted. You definitely won't be disappointed. Our freezer is full. We take it out the night before to defrost in the fridge for BLTs or breakfast and the memory of its awesome flavor and quality stays with you throughout the day!

Best I've ever had!

Best ham I’ve ever had this past Easter. Shipped right on time. Thanks

Loved the Duroc ham. Only thing I would do different is use a wet glaze. The dry glaze is good, I’m just used to a wet one.

Best Bacon I will be ordering again

Haven't tried yet but I'm sure it's good.

Bacon is good but including shipping it's $20 lb. Is ANY bacon worth that cost?

THANK YOU FOR HAVING "GOOD MONEY WORTH BACON", WE'RE ON OUR 3RD P ACK AND IT IS PRETTY GOOD AND NOT THAT SALTY, I WILL KEEP THIS COMPANY IN MIND FOR FUTURE SPENDING! THANKS AGAIN, SINCERELY SR. DRILL. SGT. C.

Ham was delicious as always and I so appreciate you accommodating my request for a larger ham to accommodate my large family. I have referred you to numerous people!
I have many food sensitivities and have been so happy to find your quality raised and processed product which I can not only enjoy but also feel confident serving to my family.
Thanks again!!
