Woman shares bacon cooking hack to make it crispier every time - with no splatter

A woman has gone viral after sharing her neat cooking trick which makes bacon extra crispy every time. Social media user @jennifervalentyne has over 500,000 followers on TikTok and has found herself causing a stir again after posting the simple trick in a simple step-by-step video guide.

Posting on TikTok, she explained: "Put your bacon in a pan and then we’re going to add water – just enough to cover the bacon."

Jennifer then added a cup of water around the bacon so that it was ready to cook.

As the bacon was sizzling away, Jennifer discussed the benefits of the cooking method and said: "It makes the bacon crispier and it doesn’t splatter."

When she took a golden brown rasher from the pan, she said: "Now that’s crispy bacon!"

But Jennifer is not the only bacon-lover to have noticed this technique. Another account called John's Kitchen ( @johns_kitchen ) took up this technique of cooking it in the water.

He told his followers: “You keep cooking until all the water has evaporated and it apparently leads to crispier bacon without it trying out.”

On trying the new technique and tasting the bacon as a result of it, John said: “The verdict is it takes a little bit longer, but really good – I’ll be doing it again.”
