5 Unhealthy Cooking Mistakes We Make With Bacon

• You Cook On A Pan That's Too Hot

The right way to cook bacon is to start it on a low to medium heat pan to allow the fat to liquify instead of burn so very little carcinogenic compounds can form. That way, your bacon will turns out nice and crispy, not burned and bland.

2. You Add Too Much Salt 

When adding bacon to other dishes like caseroles or a pasta bake, some might think that the bacon loses its saltiness but trust us, bacon is usually heavily seasoned so you don't really have to add that much salt when cooking.

3. You Treat Bacon Like Steak and Think Undercooking Is Best

Undercooking meat is never a good idea so try not to do that with bacon.

4. You Forget To Strain The Bacon Grease

It's important to strain your bacon grease because little bits of burnt parts can be healthy for you.

5. You Cook Too Much Bacon At Once 

Overcrowding the pan with bacon is never a good idea because when bacon strips are too close with each other, they tend to steam instead of cook thoroughly.
