Best Cooking Methods for Maximum Flavour
Here are some delicious ways to cook Free Range Cold Smoked Bacon to bring out its rich, smoky flavour.
1. Pan-Fried Cold Smoked Bacon (Crispy, Smoky Perfection)
Pan-fry the bacon in a hot skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally to ensure both sides are crisp and golden. The cold-smoking process enhances the bacon’s smoky flavour, and this method ensures a crispy, juicy bite. Perfect for breakfast or topping salads and sandwiches.
2. Oven-Baked Cold Smoked Bacon (Evenly Crispy and Tender)
Place the bacon on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. This method crisps the bacon evenly while maintaining its juiciness. It’s ideal for cooking a larger batch without the mess of frying.
3. Grilled Cold Smoked Bacon (A Smoky Charred Finish)
Grill the bacon over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, allowing the cold-smoked flavour to intensify and the edges to become crispy. The grill adds an extra depth of flavour, making it perfect for BBQs, burgers, or breakfast.
4. Bacon-Wrapped Delights (Smoky and Savoury)
Wrap Free Range Cold Smoked Bacon around chicken breasts, asparagus, or even potato wedges. Grill or roast for a flavour-packed twist. The bacon adds a crispy, smoky layer that enhances the dish with every bite.

Best Seasonings & Marinades:
-

-
Smoky Paprika Rub: A smoky paprika rub with cumin and garlic enhances the bacon’s charred flavour and adds a bit of spice.
-
Garlic & Herb Butter: A rich butter sauce with garlic, rosemary, and thyme complements the bacon's smoky depth.
Serving Suggestions:

Cold Smoked Bacon & Avocado Toast: Top a warm slice of toasted sourdough with mashed avocado, a poached egg, and crispy bacon for a luxurious breakfast.
