Questions about Canadian bacon
What is Canadian bacon made from?
It is cured pork loin, usually sold as round, lean slices. Unlike streaky bacon, it comes from the loin rather than the belly.
How do you cook Canadian bacon in a frying pan?
It is usually already cooked during curing, so you only need to heat it through. Fry slices in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat for about 1–2 minutes per side, until browned.
What can you make with Canadian bacon?
Use it in eggs Benedict, with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, or add slices to a breakfast sandwich. It also works on pizza, especially with pineapple.
How should you store Canadian bacon after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within 3–4 days, unless the packet gives a shorter limit. Freeze portions you will not use in that time, wrapped airtight.
Can you eat Canadian bacon without cooking it?
Many packaged versions are already cooked and can be eaten cold, but check the packet for its preparation instructions. If it is labelled uncooked, cook it before eating.
How much Canadian bacon is a typical serving?
A serving is about two slices, or 57 g. That portion contains 428 mg of sodium.
