Bacon is awesome. Wasting bacon is not awesome. So don't pop your store-bought bacon straight into the freezer. The Kitchn has an easy trick to individually freeze slices for easy thawing without any waste.


All you will need is some wax paper or parchment paper. You will basically need to stack your slices individually while folding the wax paper above each slice. Basically, you will form an accordion of sorts with the bacon and wax paper layers.

Once you're done, throw this into a freezer bag and pop it into your freezer. When you need to use bacon, you will just need to tear off as many slices as you need. They separate easily, unlike a whole pack of slices frozen together. Then it's just a matter of thawing the slices and they will be good to go.
