FAQs

A: This fully cooked bacon can go from flattop to application in 1 minute or less, allowing you to serve a bacon that’s indistinguishable from raw, on demand.

A: Absolutely. It’s crafted to have authentic flavor and ideal plate appeal, making it ideal for high-expectation applications where bacon takes the lead.
