If you live for that perfectly crispy strip of bacon, you’re not alone—but getting there without a smoky mess or half-burnt ends can be maddening. What if I told you there’s one unexpected trick that delivers golden, evenly cooked bacon every single time? Bonus: less splatter, easier cleanup, and way more crunch.
And here’s the kicker:
It’s water. 💧
Yes—water in the pan is the secret move. It sounds wild, but hear me out.
Why Water Works Magic
- No Burning Drama: Water slows the heat buildup, gently rendering fat before crisping begins.
- Low Splatter Factor: Simmering temps mean less grease popping all over your stovetop.
- Even Cooking: The water helps each strip lie flat and cook uniformly—no shriveled bacon worms here.
