Bacon is cured pork belly that’s fried, baked, or grilled until crispy. It’s one of those foods that makes breakfast, sandwiches, and even desserts way better.

- Oven-baked: Even crispiness with less mess—lay on a tray at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 min.
- Microwave: Quick, but can be a little less crispy.
- Air fryer: Fast and super crispy with minimal cleanup.
