If you wish to reduce curling, use the kitchen scissors to make small cuts along the fatty edges of the bacon.

Arrange several slices in a skillet. Heat over medium-low heat until browned.

Turn the bacon slices over and continue cooking until browned, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Remove from the pan with tongs or a spatula and drain slices on paper towels. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper or your favorite pork rub seasoning if you wish.

I’ve been making my own Canadian Bacon for a few years now. When pork loin is on sale, I cure it in a brine using Prague Powder #2 for a week, drain and wash, then dry it overnight it the fridge rolled in cornmeal ( can’t get ground peameal around me, there is a difference in taste). The cornmeal draws water out of the loin. Think I slice it and vacuum seal it. Easy to make. The formula for the brine and is by weight of water and pork. Prague Powder #2 has to be used properly, as it is a chemical.

Eliza...thanks for all of the helpful tips for the Back Bacon! 
I had just recently purchased some from @jollyposhfoods and after reading your recipe on how to cook, decided to give it a try! 
I used Bacon Up to oil my pan...cooked for 3 mins of each side
After cooking, I dressed a couple of pieces with Japanese 7 Spice, &amp; a couple of pieces with @Mike'sHotHoney...both came out amazing! These will make a great breakfast addition when I serve them in my Baps!
