LifestyleFoodA home cook has shared her simple crispy bacon 'hack' that she claims will help make your rashers crispier and less greasy - and all you will need is a 45p ingredient you probably already have11:16, 07 Jul 2026Updated 11:40, 07 Jul 2026Many of us are quite particular about how we like our bacon - with crispy being an especially popular choice at breakfast time. If that sounds familiar, one home cook claims she has a "hack" that will guarantee your rashers come out "perfect" with "zero mess" every time.‌Casey Davis took to TikTok to unveil her method, explaining that you'll need an additional 45p ingredient to replicate her creation. She began her video by laying several streaky rashers onto tin foil, ready for the oven - not the frying pan. Casey then revealed her secret weapon - all-purpose flour - which she lightly and evenly sprinkled over the bacon.‌With her oven pre-heated to 190°C (375°F), Casey emphasised the importance of arranging the rashers so they neither overlap nor crowd the tray. "Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness," she advised.‌Casey's final step? "Carefully remove from the oven and transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease," she said, before demonstrating the bacon's satisfying crispy crunch to prove the method works a treat.She added: "Flour is your best friend! Enjoy perfectly crispy bacon every time!"Content cannot be displayed without consent‌While it might seem like an unusual addition to your morning meal, it is actually a fairly traditional technique - and there's genuine science behind it!The flour soaks up some of the bacon's surface moisture and fat during cooking, helping to produce a crispier texture, while forming a thin, crunchy coating on each rasher, making every bite delightfully crispy.What's more, coating can encourage more uniform browning by creating a consistent surface for the bacon to cook on.‌If you fancy taking things up a level, you can even experiment with seasoning the flour. Of course, bacon is already quite salty, so you won't require that.However, a few sprinkles of paprika or grinds of black pepper can render the rashers even more delicious.Casey's short clip has accumulated more than 700 likes since it was shared - and people appeared to be thankful for the guidance. One of her followers responded: "I need this!"Article continues belowIt's not the only bacon tip to gain traction in recent months.Previously, additional bacon wisdom emerged from the unexpected source of rapper, Snoop Dogg, who proposed you can make your bacon taste considerably better if you do one straightforward thing before placing it in the pan.Rather than separating the bacon into individual slices and frying in a pan as most people would do, he advises throwing all of it in to cook in one solid piece.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌FoodHome Cooking Made EasyLife hacksTikTok
