Bacon, bacon, bacon… It’s salty, smoky, and packed with umami. Served alongside your scrambled eggs or stack of pancakes for dinner, in a delectable quiche for your lunch, or crumbled into a baked and stuffed jacket potato for your dinner, bacon is one of the few foods that are oh-so-satisfying. I am a fan of back and streaky bacon myself, but it has to be cooked just right – which is harder than you might assume. When done wrong, that crisp, soft, melt-in-your-mouth strip becomes burnt or gummy and pushed aside on the plate.
