• The Flash Freezing Difference: Flash freezing uses extremely cold temperatures to rapidly freeze foods. The process is much faster than traditional freezing and locks in freshness, taste, and quality by minimizing ice crystal formation. (Fast forward through the cellular-level science.) Thanks to the smaller ice crystals, the food — when thawed — maintains its structure, moisture content, and texture.
• Preparation Instructions: To Fry: For best results, place bacon in an unheated skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, turning frequently, until desired crispness is attained. (You'll notice less shrinkage than with other brands.) Oven-Baked: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place slices close together on a rimmed baking sheet (the rim prevents grease from dripping on the oven's heating elements). For the most effortless cleanup, place parchment paper on the sheet prior to placing the bacon (make sure the paper doesn't hang over the edges of the baking sheet). Bake for 20 minutes or until desired crispness. There is no need to turn bacon during cooking. Place bacon on paper toweling to drain.
