Nueske’s Bacon – Applewood Smoked (1lb Pkg)

• Founded in 1933 in Northern Wisconsin, Nueske’s continues to be operated by the third-generation of the Nueske family.
• Hand-trimmed and smoked over applewood logs for a minimum of 24 hours infuses the bacon with Nueske’s signature smoky flavor.
• Sold in one-pound (1lb) packages of 16/20 slices per pound. This bacon arrives frozen – the date on the package is the freeze by date not the use by date and will maintain its quality for at least 3 months if kept frozen (refrigerate when ready to use).
• Today Gourmet ships all products in insulated boxes with either dry ice or frozen gel packs, guaranteed to arrive frozen at your doorstep. As a small, family owned business, we source the best products we can find, frequently from family-owned businesses across the United States.
• “Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.” Doug Larson

To Fry: For best results, place bacon in an unheated skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, turning frequently, until desired crispness is attained. (You'll notice less shrinkage than with other brands.)

Oven-Baked: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place slices close together on a rimmed baking sheet (the rim prevents grease from dripping on the oven's heating elements). For the most effortless cleanup, place parchment paper on the sheet prior to placing the bacon (make sure the paper doesn't hang over the edges of the baking sheet). Bake for 20 minutes or until desired crispness. There is no need to turn bacon during cooking. Place bacon on paper toweling to drain.
