Crispy bacon

I’ve been cooking bacon in water for quite a few years now and I didn't realise it wasn’t a common thing until I started posting it on TikTok and got a lot of curious comments. It’s very common in a chef’s home kitchen.
Ingredients
- Bacon, streaky bacon works best in my opinion
- Water
Directions
- In a cold pan, lay the bacon out flat and add a little bit of water. You want just enough water to just cover it.
- Place your pan on a stove on a high heat. This will slowly reduce the water until it completely evaporates. This will take a couple of minutes.
- Once the water has evaporated, your bacon will start to crisp up. Make sure you keep your eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
- Once the underside has some colour on it, flip your bacon. Cook on this side for about a minute or two and flip again. I flip it another once or twice so both sides have lots of colour. You can turn down the heat if you feel it’s cooking too fast.
- Take it out of the pan and place onto a paper towel or wire rack.
