So if you are like most people that I know, and absolutely love bacon, here is a tip for you to stop each strip shrinking into a minuscule piece.
Rinse it in water. Yep folks it is that simple. Just run each bacon slice under water before cooking. Cooking in an oven also makes the bacon crispier but a pan on the stove is also doable. Just remember to flip the strips often often.

That’s an interesting tip, but just wondering would that create very furiously sizzling and sort of splash back with the water? I have only fried bacon once but even without the water i got a few burns so would be worried about adding water.
