Does that mean the bacon is already cooked? (you can eat directly from the package) Or do I still need to cook the bacon? I bought a bacon that has no instructions on the package, but it also mentioned that it needs to be stored on cold temperature



Best Answer

"Cooking" doesn't mean "cooked". It can be read as either "in the process of cooking", which is clearly nonsense here, or "for cooking", which makes sense for a raw product.

When you say "a bacon" do you mean one large piece? This might also be called a bacon joint or gammon joint. Or do you mean a pack of slices (rashers)? The latter are quicker and easier to cook: grill or fry until they look done. The former will need you to calculate the cooking time based on weight whether you roast it, boil it, or boil first before finishing in the oven.
