Equipment
- Sous Vide Cooker
- Sous Vide Container
- Kitchen Tongs
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork bacon
- pinch smoked salt, (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the sous vide machine to 142º. Then, transfer the bacon from the packaging to a sous vide bag. If you're planning to add the smoked salt, add it now. Vacuum seal the bag.
- Next, you'll sous vide the bacon at 142ºF for 8 hours.
- Once the bacon is done in the sous vide bath, transfer it to a paper towel lined cutting board. Pat bacon dry.
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat and add the sous vide bacon.
- Sear each side for about 30-60 seconds, until it gets crispy. Once done, transfer to a paper towel lined cutting board and serve.
Notes
- The bacon is officially cooked after the sous vide process.
- Keep in mind that the bacon will not be crispy right out of the sous vide bath. If you want that crispy tender bacon, sear it in a skillet or in a cast iron skillet.
- You don't want to sous vide the bacon in its original package because it contains a piece of plastic or cardboard and you don't want to cook that!
- It's ok if the bacon overlaps.
