This trio of bacons is bound light up the eyes, and taste-buds, of bacon fanatics you know and love. Includes: Our famous Applewood Smoked Bacon (1 lb.), smoked 24 hours over sweet Applewood embers... Applewood Smoked Peppered Bacon (1 lb.), hand-coated with fresh-cracked Tellicherry peppercorns (considered the finest pepper in the world) and ... Wild Cherrywood Smoked Bacon (12 oz.), made from an all-natural recipe containing absolutely no artificial ingredients.
All bacons are 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 (2.75 lbs.)
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.
