Bacon has a delicious taste and is a great addition to dishes. Bacon can sometimes take a long time to thaw if left in the fridge, so try an alternative method to make it thaw faster. Use a microwave to thaw the bacon or immerse the package in water. With these methods you can thaw 450 grams of bacon in less than an hour.

To step

Method 1 of 2: With the microwave

1. Place the bacon on a paper towel on a microwave-safe plate. Place kitchen paper on the microwave-safe plate. If you're using a large plate, cover it with 2 paper towels so that the base is completely covered. The kitchen paper will absorb the excess fat. Remove the bacon from the original packaging and place it on the kitchen paper.
   • Spread the bacon as much as possible to speed up the defrosting process. If it clumps together, let it thaw for 2 minutes before spreading it out on the plate. This will make it easier to take apart.
2. Store cooked bacon in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Once the bacon is cooked, you can put it in an airtight container. If the bacon smells unpleasant, don't eat it anymore.
   • If you want to use the prepared bacon later in the day, put it in an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Use one of the above methods to thaw the frozen bacon.
