An award-winning chef who has previously cooked for the Queen has shared the correct way to make the perfect bacon.
Jeff Baker revealed there is a common mistake people make when cooking the breakfast staple - and says there is a simple trick to get it crispy and full of flavour.
The food expert, who is heads up Farmison & Co, shed light on where many of us go wrong.
He told The Daily Star the secret to bacon is to get the pan hot rather than cooking the meat slow and steady.
By doing it this way, the bacon should caramelise, making it crispier and full of that delicious flavour.
Jeff explained: "I find that the best way to cook bacon is on a medium to high heat pan with a small amount of natural fat, searing it on each side for a minute or so.
“If the bacon is properly dry cured and cut to a nice thickness, it should caramelise on the edges.
“The fat will then render without dissolving, resulting in delicious flavour.”
The professional chef shared another tip to eating the perfect rashers - but it's pretty controversial.
Jeff explained he disagrees with adding condiments to bacon - which means ditching the ketchup or brown sauce.
He added: “In my opinion, if cooked this way the bacon won’t need any sauce to enhance the taste - it’ll be perfect as it is."
