The best way to cook bacon is to start with a cold skillet, add the bacon in a single layer, and cook over medium-low heat until the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness. Flip and rotate the bacon occasionally and use a metal spatula to press down on the bacon strips to ensure even cooking. When the bacon is done, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
