Thin Cut Bacon
Smoky and salty, crisping quickly to a delicate, brittle texture.
Lens analyzedThin cut bacon is sliced noticeably thinner than regular or thick-cut bacon, so it crisps up fast and evenly in a skillet or oven. The thinner slices render more of their fat quickly, leaving less chewy fat behind than a thicker cut.
Where it comes from
Bacon slicing thickness became a marketing distinction in North American groceries once packaged bacon moved from butcher counters to pre-sliced supermarket packs. Thin cut became the default for classic breakfast bacon meant to fry up crisp rather than the meatier, chew-forward thick cut used in BLTs or on burgers.
Buying it
Check the package for slice count per pound, since a higher count usually signals thinner slices. Look for consistent marbling throughout rather than large solid fat sections at one end.
Storing it
Keep bacon refrigerated and use within a few days of opening; unopened vacuum-sealed packs last longer but should still be watched against the printed date.
Keeps about 3 days in the fridge.
