Bacon 101

Adding water—in the form of steam from the Anova Precision Oven—helps bacon achieve a crisp-yet-tender bite that melts in your mouth. Water helps to renders out bacon fat more efficiently so that it spends more time crisping in its own fat. The Anova Precision Oven makes this process foolproof and splatter free. Notes: Exact crisping times will likely vary by brand. Keep an eye on your bacon and adjust the second stage timing as needed. You can also cook more bacon than written in the recipe. Use two baking sheets; you may need to add additional time to the second cook stage.
