How long will cooked bacon keep?

Question

my math class is bringing in food and i wanted to take some bacon. would it be ok to cook it the night before or should i wake up early to do it?

Answer 1

Doing the night before is just fine. I like to cook up the whole package of bacon and then put in a zip lock bag and freeze it. That way I can take out whatever I need and just place between 2 sheets of paper towel and zap for 30 seconds. It will be perfect. Saves dragging out the skillet every time you want bacon.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Oh yeah, a day is fiiiiine.

Answer 3

Cook it the night before.... BUT you may have to WARM it up before serving.

Answer 4

You can definitely cook the night before. Place bacon on paper towel to drain grease and then once cooled completely lay bacon on clean paper towel spacing a few 1/4-inch apart, cover with another piece of paper. Repeat until all of your bacon is layered between paper towel and then cover with a final sheet of paper. Place in a ziploc bag and refrigerate.

Answer 5

good rule of thumb is never keep anythng longer than a week....what most health departments recommend
