* PLEASE NOTE: When crumbling bacon for B.L.T. salads, you can add to the same 1/6 size 4” deep pan for THAT DAY. EACH day you need to begin with a clean 1/6 size 4” deep pan for crumbled bacon. Never add todays crumbled bacon to yesterday’s pan of crumbled bacon

* If needed, pull bacon from the line & place into the 1/6 size 4” deep pan
* ENSURE you have drained as much of the bacon grease from the bacon as possible prior to crumbling
* Use a gloved hand to crumble the bacon to pieces no larger than dime size (see picture)
* Place bacon that will be used for B.L.T. salads into the walk-in cooler for a minimum of 2 hours after crumbling (overnight is best)
