Here's an easy, affordable way to sample our famous bacons. This assortment includes our three most popular bacons: medium-sliced, Thin-sliced and Peppered. All are patiently smoked over glowing embers of sweet Wisconsin Applewood... and so lean, they shrink a fraction as much as typical supermarket bacon.
Each bacon variety comes in 1 lb. vacuum-sealed package (3 lbs. total) for your storage convenience. A great gift to introduce your family, friends and business associates to the rare Nueske's goodness you love so much.
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
Thin Slice
2 slices - 1 minutes
4 slices - 2 minutes
6 slices - 3 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.
