The verdict is in on sous vide bacon...Fabulous!
You sous vide the bacon overnight and let it cook slowly. In the morning, you take the bacon from its container, pat it dry, then throw it into a skillet (hopefully, cast iron or carbon steel, right?). You sear ONE side of the bacon for 4-5 minutes, until you get a nice crunch on that side. The result is bacon that is a fantastic combination of delicate and crispy. Since much of the work is done overnight, you can quickly turn out excellent bacon when people are ready to eat.
