Whenever we get a load of bacon, we put 4 slices folded over into a small
freezer bag. From 1kg, we normally get about 6 baggies. They go into the
freezer. When we want bacon, we take one bag out and let it defrost. Then
it's just a matter of taking the folded bacon out, slipping a knife under
the fold and cut upwards to halve the slices. It's not done at the start as
sometimes the cooking requires whole slices of bacon, ie, to wrap around a
chicken breast or somesuch.
