Do you fry bacon with butter or oil?

You can fry bacon with either butter or oil, but it's more common to use no added fat since bacon releases its own grease. If you choose to use butter, it can enhance the flavor, but be cautious as it may burn at high temperatures. Some prefer oil, like vegetable or canola, for a higher smoke point and a cleaner taste. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preference and desired flavor.
