NON-REFRIGERATED BACON FOR FOOD STORAGE? Appleton Farms Bacon REVIEW



A quick review for  Appleton farms precooked bacon. The package cost less than $3 bucks from a nearby Aldi's store. 


Comparing these ingredients from a package of refrigerated bacon (another brand) from my fridge, they are identical!


Huge bonus - long shelf life and no refrigeration needed. To be honest, if the shelf life was less than a month, I wouldn't have been interested in this product.  



2 layers of bacon on wax paper, with 6 slices per section. 


These are precooked, but we wanted to pan fry (heat up) to test the amount of fat (for frying eggs) and to compare with raw pan fried bacon. 

For taste and texture, from 1-10 this bacon is a 7 or 8 and we (self and spouse) would purchase this again for our food storage. This bacon is similar in taste/texture to restaurant dining - thin and crisp.

Due to the success of this pre-cooked bacon, I plan to keep an eye out for other brands that don't require refrigeration.

We've started a tradition whenever we fry bacon in our home -- 3 pairs of hungry eyes wait in anticipation, so our dogs enjoy bacon each time we dine, and for this review, no exceptions were made!
