Cooking Instructions
The brining process makes it nearly impossible to overcook Peameal Bacon, and it’s both leaner and juicer than regular bacon. A uniquely Canadian product, Peameal Bacon is often confused with ‘Canadian Bacon’, which is smoked back bacon, popular in the United States and not actually Canadian at all.
Unlike Smoked Canadian Bacon (which is, let’s not forget, American), Peameal Bacon must be cooked. The best way to prepare is to pan-fry, searing on medium high for 45-60 seconds per side.
Peameal Bacon can also be baked, barbecued or roasted. For more ideas, check our recipes section.
Both Canadian bacon and ham come from pork and might look the same depending on the forms they take, but there are key differences. Here are points of consideration between the two meats:
- Cut: The main difference between the two is that Canadian-style bacon comes from the back of the pig, and is a loin cut. Ham comes from the back legs or butt.
- Preparation: Canadian bacon comes in both thick and thin slices. Ham comes in cubes, as thick slabs of meat, or even in slices. You can enjoy Canadian bacon and ham in dishes at breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner; however, Canadian bacon, like other types of bacon, is traditionally a breakfast food.
- Preservation method:
Ham is cured or smoked, while Canadian bacon undergoes brining, similar to other types of bacon, including peameal bacon, Irish bacon, English bacon, British bacon, and American bacon.
- Nutritional value: Compared to each other, ham generally has more sodium and a higher amount of carbohydrates, while Canadian bacon has more protein and less cholesterol.

It was absolutely wonderful. Eileen and I made some sandwiches with the Cuban rolls. First, it was easy to prepare just like you said. A minute on each side. Great flavor, lean, and very tender. The cornmeal gave it a little extra touch.
What was really awesome was the zip sealed package. No bacon made in the US has that. Good touch.
It was very delicious.
