Allow it to Cool: Let the cooked bacon cool down to room temperature on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. This helps to remove excess grease and moisture.
Wrap in Paper Towels: Once cooled, place the cooked bacon slices in between layers of paper towels. The paper towels will absorb any remaining grease, helping to keep the bacon crispy and preventing it from becoming soggy.
Place in an Airtight Container or Zip-Top Bag: Transfer the wrapped bacon slices to an airtight container or a zip-top bag. Press out any excess air before sealing to prevent the bacon from drying out.
Refrigerate: Store the sealed container or bag of cooked bacon in the refrigerator. It can be stored for up to 3-4 days.
Reheat When Ready to Eat: When you're ready to enjoy the leftover cooked bacon, simply reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds or in a skillet until warmed through. Alternatively, you can enjoy it cold in salads, sandwiches, or as a snack.
By following these steps, you can store leftover cooked bacon safely and ensure it stays delicious for future meals.
