Separation Anxiety

I don't know about you, but I hate separating bacon slices. They always end up stretching as I peel them one off the other. Somewhere I read a great tip for separating bacon. Before opening the package, roll it up lengthwise. The bacon slides over itself, separating in the process. When you open the package the bacon easily comes apart with little to no stretching, making it easier to fit in your pan.
