quires slow cooking,
careful
watching and rem oval from the
heat when it’s crisp but not b rit­

To pan-fry bacon: Lay strips
in a cold frying pan and cook
over low flame, turning them oc­
casionally and pouring off fat as
it accumulates.
To broil: Place strips on broiler
rack or pan about 3 to 3(4 inches
below moderate heat. Turn when
top is lightly crisped, broiling
about 2(4 minutes to each side.
To bake: Lay strips in shallow
pan, allowing fat edges to over­
lap the lean edges. Place on top
shelf of oven set at 400 degrees.
Bake without turning for 12 or 15
minutes until crisp.
