Haha not sure if it actually as high as 1% there was a brief period where a few packs in a row opened as they should do but haven’t had one since

Use scissors, and then (pro tip incoming…thank me later) cut through the bacon rind into the bacon several times, as it cooks the fat shrinks which is why it curls up, it won’t happen if you do this so it will stay flat, cook better, and the fat will crisp nicer

Forget the pull just straight in with the knife, quicker and less hassle

I'm with the Misfits above. Straight for the scissors every time. Same with supermarket packs of chicken breast fillets.

Scissors every time plus same for packs of cooked meats - in fact for anything shrink wrapped and sealed. Saves time and cut fingers.

It’s a tightrope between relative ease and safety, or total disaster and the spilling of much claret.

Tesco are the worst for this. Never managed to open one without resorting to stabbing.

Just go and buy a pair of scissors to open it....you know the ones? The scissors that come in that really tough, crinkle melted edged packet, that you need a pair of scissors to get into them!

Place your glass of wine on a firm, even surface before attempting to bring home the bacon

Worst bit is when the rashers are sliced so thin you peel the bacon off in little bits.

Manufacturers of bacon and fancy ham, Oi No! We want our slices thick enough to not tear thus resulting in a more satisfying cooked breakfast or ham sandwich!

The solution to the problem?

Go to your local butcher and buy some decent bacon, wrapped in a paper bag. It’s better than. That water filled stuff from the supermarkets anyway.

Very dangerous. Once opened the whole lot will go into a recipe or mega bacon bap!

I can certainly relate to that, it's either eat the lot or try and find something to wrap the left over bacon in

Fortunately I don't really like bacon, as shocking as that may be to some. Luke

I cut all the rind off completely, fry that separately, till it's really crispy, then use that pan for the eggs at the last minute. I fry the lean bacon in a separate pan with mushrooms and it all stays really moist. Can't be doing with bacon that's like cardboard
