Yeah, well, it doesn’t work like that.

For starters, the bacon in the picture no longer exists in that form.
As a child, I remember my mother always saving bacon fat in a 1lb coffee can.
I prefer to cook a whole package at a time. That way I can have my bacon & eat it too.
Take most of it off the pan just before it's done & put it in the fridge. Then finish it while reheating. (Dano+)
we do it all the time I will cook up one or two packages toss most into the fridge , and just heat it back up for sandwiches or just as is
and we still save the bacon grease wife likes to use it when cooking add into green beans as one example or just strips of bacon into pinto ( soup ) beans
A: I don't cook my own bacon.
B: If it was cooked the night before, it would not survive until morning.
C: Grouch Attack no longer 'cooks' bacon, she bakes it so now it's more like BAK-on.
D: It's been so long since she did either that the taste of bacon is a vague memory.
It's a painful scenario when one can smell the stink of the neighbor's hog barn but can't remember the taste of bacon.
We buy a double-cut bacon; one strip is the same as two regular ones. When I make my own breakfast, I cook just one. Our microwave has a sensor setting for bacon. I don't have a clue how it knows, but it cooks that one strip to crispy perfection every time.
SWMBO makes Sunday brunch and cooks eight or ten of those strips in the oven. She never gets them perfect; either limp and greasy or black. Bacon is one of the very few things she simply can't get right. Another is fried fish.
No such thing as precooking bacon or leftover bacon in this house.... (any and all that is cooked will be eating within the hour after it comes out of the frying pan) but we do still save and use the grease, chicken fried steak is only good when made in bacon grease and lots of other things are always better when cooked with it. I've tried the oven, microwave but neither compare to using a frying pan and the trick is to not get it to hot, bacon cannot be rushed and you have to realize it still continues to cook after taken out of the pan, this is something my wife still doesn't get and so hers is always over cooked (burnt),
I had no idea there was such a thing as "left over" bacon ..................... is it even possible? 😋
There used to be a place called "The Big Z" restaurant here tucked in behind a truck stop. Their menu included an item called simply "Breakfast." For an incredible six bucks, you got four eggs, a pound of hash browns, two pancakes at least 12 inches in diameter - and a full pound of bacon. I once heard a trucker ask on CB how big that meal really was and the reply was "If you've eaten since Nebraska, forget it."
Life is too short to cook bacon!
I only buy Oscar Mayer "fully cooked" bacon; 30 seconds in the microwave on a paper towel, & it's crisp & ready to eat.
