We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again – the only thing better than bacon, is more bacon. So we’ve created an assortment of three of the best bacons you’ll ever taste, smoked over glowing embers of Applewood or Cherrywood logs.
Included in our Gourmet Bacon Assortment are:
All bacon is smoked 24 hours over glowing embers of Applewood or Cherrywood logs and cut into slices so lean they hardly shrink during cooking. Vacuum-sealed for convenient storage. Great introduction to Nueske's most popular bacons. Total weight of the Gourmet Bacon Assortment (2 lbs 12 oz)
To Store: Refrigerate immediately. Vacuum-packaged bacon will keep for 12 weeks in refrigerator, or up to 1 year in freezer. Once opened, use within 1 week.
To Fry: For best results, place bacon in unheated skillet. Cook over MEDIUM LOW heat. Turn frequently until desired crispness is attained. (You'll notice less shrinkage than with other brands.)
Microwave: On microwave-safe plate, place bacon slices side by side between layers of paper toweling. Cook on HIGH for the following approximate times:
Thick Slice
2 slices - 2 minutes
4 slices - 3 minutes
6 slices - 4 minutes
Thick Slice Peppered Bacon
2 slices - 1.5 minutes
4 slices - 3 minutes
6 slices - 4 minutes
Cherrywood Bacon
2 slices - 1.5 minutes
4 slices - 2.5 minutes
6 slices - 3.5 minutes
Oven-Baked: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place slices close together on rimmed baking sheet (rim prevents grease from dripping on oven's heating elements). For easiest cleanup, place parchment paper on sheet prior to placing bacon (make sure paper doesn't hang over edges of baking sheet). Bake 20 minutes or until desired doneness; no need to turn bacon during cooking. Place bacon on paper toweling to drain.
