I, like most people, love perfectly crispy bacon. Whether I cooked it in the oven or in a skillet, I always thought the only way to achieve this was by laying out the strips perfectly flat and fussing with them as little as possible. Then I learned how Snoop Dogg cooks his bacon.

I was reading Jess Damuck’s cookbook “Salad Freak,” and she said Snoop Dogg taught her how to make the crispiest bacon ever. Ms. Damuck worked for Martha Stewart for about 10 years, so she has spent a lot of time around the two in the kitchen. She said that one day, she watched in shock as he simply dumped a giant clump of bacon into the pan and casually stirred it around with tongs for about 15 minutes—only to get perfectly crispy, curly bacon!
