Cooking bacon with water is a culinary technique that involves adding a small amount of water to the pan before frying the bacon. This method is said to result in bacon that is evenly cooked, less greasy, and more flavorful.
The water helps to prevent the bacon from sticking to the pan and burning. It also creates steam, which helps to cook the bacon more evenly. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a small amount of salt, which enhances the flavor of the bacon.
