Image via WikipediaAnother thing to look at when buying bacon is the weight and what is in your bacon. When selecting making your selection, make s sure your buying bacon that has been smoked or dry rubbed with spices and herbs. This is important because some bacon is injected with fake smoke flavoring, or has been injected with other additives that are adding water weight. This water weight can make the bacon look full and delicious but when you cook it all of the extra added water will just cook off. When all the water is gone, your left with just a few shriveled pieces of bacon.
Let us recap - So the next time you are at the grocery store or butcher shop, make sure you are only purchasing USDA certified meats due the treatment they receive. Also make sure you ask your butcher about what goes in to the bacon. Make sure you aren't paying for bacon but only getting additives. Hopefully after these tips, you'll never buy bacon the same again!
Checking the quality of bacon is a good way to be able to get good results for your finish product. I would rather check on the weight of bacon, if bacon is well smoked and cure. Some of the fresh bacon meat are being injected with water to make it full and watery. But after the water will be gone, it will give you a few shriveled pieces of bacon.
