What's the Best Way to Store Bacon? - CHOW Tip

You can find great bacon in bulk, but you might not be able to eat five pounds of it before it goes bad. Scott Kveton, founder of Bacn.com recommends freezing your bacon as soon as you get it home. Separate the bacon into portion-sized plastic bags and defrost it as the need arises.

TRANSCRIPT
Sometimes people are a little nervous about buying bacon in bulk and they're not sure it's going to keep or how well it'll last. One thing you can do is freeze the bacon and it'll actually last up to nine months if you do that. What I like to do is user freezer bags and I'll put maybe a breakfast size portion in there, six to eight slices. The night before maybe a weekend breakfast, I'll pull out a package and throw it in the fridge so by morning I have bacon that's ready to go into the frying pan.
