How to cook
Cooking Smoked Back Bacon
- Preheat the pan or grill to medium heat. No oil is required; bacon will release natural fat during cooking.
- Cook slices for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Serve hot, either as part of a cooked breakfast or in a sandwich.
Packaging
Your meat order is kept cool in transit because we either use an insulated expanded polystyrene box, or a recyclable tough corrugated cardboard box which is foil lined and insulated with bubble wrap. Both boxes are leak-proof and sturdy.
To keep your delivery cool, it is packed along with specially designed ice packs. Our ice packs are made with a frozen water-based gel, which keeps the meat at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming wet.
