Cooking Instructions

How to Cook Middle Bacon

Bacon rashers can be grilled, pan-fried or cooked in the oven. For pan frying, place the rashers in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook for a few minutes on each side until cooked through and as crisp as you like.

To grill, place under a preheated medium-high grill and cook for around 3–5 minutes on each side, turning once during cooking.

For oven cooking, arrange the rashers in a single layer on a baking tray and cook at 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas 6 for around 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness and type of bacon.

Product FAQs

Frequently asked questions about this product:

What is middle bacon?

Middle bacon is a traditional cut that includes both the pork loin and belly in one rasher. This gives you the leaner back bacon section and the richer, fattier streaky section together.

What is the difference between middle bacon and back bacon?

Back bacon is mainly cut from the pork loin, whereas middle bacon includes both the loin and part of the belly. This makes middle bacon a larger rasher with a combination of lean meat and streakier bacon.

How should I cook middle bacon?

Middle bacon can be pan-fried, grilled or oven cooked just like other bacon rashers. Cook until piping hot throughout and to your preferred level of crispness.

Does this bacon have the rind on?

Yes. This traditional style bacon has the rind left on.

Can I freeze bacon?

Yes. This bacon is delivered fresh and is suitable for home freezing. For convenience, divide larger packs into your preferred portions before freezing and defrost thoroughly in the refrigerator before cooking.
