The bacon timer

Cooked right. Every time.

Pick your cut and how you like it. We’ll tell you when to flip and when to lift, so you can get on with the toast.

1. 1
   Cold, dry pan. Lay the rashers flat, then turn the heat to medium. No oil.
2. 2
   Side one: 4:00. Leave them alone.
3. 3
   Flip. Side two: 3:30. Press flat if they curl.
4. 4
   Rest: 0:30 on kitchen paper. They crisp a little more as they cool.

Times are a guide for a heavy pan on a medium hob. Trust your eyes: golden fat, crisp edges. Always cook pork thoroughly.
