Tuesday's Tips & Tricks: Chopping Bacon

I think everyone has at least one task in the kitchen that they do not enjoy doing.  For me, it is chopping bacon.  I hate it!  The bacon is greasy and it moves around on the cutting board as I try to slice it.  There had to be an easier way to do this.

I had just finished using my kitchen shears to cut up some herbs, so I grabbed them and decided to try it on the bacon.  It worked great!  Now I only use my kitchen shears to cut the bacon into the size I need.  I cut it right into the skillet that I will be using to fry it in.  It is so easy!  You get perfect cuts and less mess by using this method.

Sometimes I stack the bacon and other times I just get it straight from the package.Then I chop away with my kitchen shears.

Which kitchen task do you enjoy doing the least?
