Bacon in a can
I have had this product and it is quite good. The only problem is that at 51 slices per can or 3 pounds precooked it is a bit much to open a can for one or two people.

"12 in 1" rations
and even to sample "MRE"s
....and then exposed (a coupe of times were too often) to the current flood of "Pre-cooked" packaged/shrink wrapped/vacuum packed bacon....
...after going to the website, I'm convinced that I'll take a pass on "Yoder's", apparently a redo of an old "Celebrity" brand, a packing house famous for selling pork products to the US military of a quality causing crews of small ships to mutiny.

My favorite is thick-cut Schaller & Weber Black Forest bacon. Mmm.

Bacon wrapped scallops prove that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

How To Prepare Bacon
1. Purchase the best quality bacon you can afford. Bacon is one of those products where name brands are nearly always preferable to store brands.
2. Separate the bacon strips and place on a microwave-safe dish with about three sheets of white (non-printed) paper towel on the bottom. Put one sheet of white paper towel on top.
3. Microwave to taste. Experiment with different cooking times.
4. Using more paper towels if necessary, wrap the cooked bacon and press the grease out of the bacon so that 100% of the grease is absorbed by the paper towels.
5. Enjoy!
If only restaurants would prepare bacon in a similar manner. I often find myself pressing out the grease with my napkin.

So, what were the results? 
Speaking of bacon... Costco recently stopped carrying their regular Kirkland hickory smoked bacon, replacing it with a low sodium version. It was a very good product and the price was amazing. It was pretty much the only bacon we have bought for ~18 years. So, in my quest to find a suitable alternative, yesterday I bought 8 different (mid to high end) brands. Let the bacon testing begin!
