Are you looking to get crispier, less burnt bacon in the morning? Finding the right temperature and cooking times can be tough, but here's a quick secret to getting better results: Add water.
That's right, pour just enough water over the bacon to barely cover the meat. According to America's Test Kitchen, you start by pouring the water over the bacon and cooking at high heat. Once the water boils, lower the temperature to medium. When the water is simmered away, turn the heat down to medium-low and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp and well-browned.
This method, admittedly does take longer to prepare than regular pan-cooking, and is hard to replicate for large batches. If you're someone who saves bacon fat for cooking later, you may be disappointed as you won't be left with much. That being said, this is still a fantastic way to improve the quality of your bacon without all the timing and guesswork of normal pan-cooking.
Speaking of bacon, no conversation is good without the mention of this guy.
Put bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet.
Crisp every time!

Another great way to cook bacon is put flour on it first then fry it till it's crispy. Bacon doesn't shrink much either.
Spray the skillet with cooking spray first. My family loves it and won't let me make it any other way.
