   What to look for: Ingredients measured and tools within reach

2. 2
   Crisp bacon

   Heat the skillet over medium heat, add bacon, and fry until the slices are browned, crisp at the edges, and the fat has rendered. · 5 min

   When it is done: Cook until crisp with no translucent raw looking fat.
