Cured and smoked meats are best stored in a cool atmosphere free from dust and flies, and there is little advantage in freezing bacon. Salt causes rancidity in fat during freezing, which limits freezing life. If bacon is frozen, it is better stored in the piece than in slices. It should be wrapped in freezer paper, foil or polythene and overwrapped; sliced bacon may be packed in the same way. Bacon should be thawed in the refrigerator in wrapping before using in the normal way.Storage time in one piece: 3 months. Storage time in slices: 3 weeks.
