Start with bacon slices and prepare a piece of parchment paper for dredging.

Dredge the first slice of bacon in whey protein isolate, ensuring to clean fingers between each piece.

Dredge the second slice in lupini flour.

Dredge the third slice in bamboo fiber.

Dredge the fourth slice in unbeliev-a flour.

Dredge the fifth slice in ketochow pecan sticky bun mix.

Dredge the sixth slice in ever crisp (wheat dextrin).

Preheat the oven to 368°F and place the bacon in a cold oven to prevent curling.

Bake the bacon for 20 minutes, checking after 11 minutes when the oven reaches temperature.

After 20 minutes, pat the bacon with a paper towel and let it cool briefly before tasting.

Taste the bacon coated with whey protein isolate and note it has the least shrinkage but tastes weird and sticks to the rack.

Taste the bacon coated with lupini flour; it is not crisp and flops over, with an unsatisfactory taste.

Taste the bacon coated with bamboo fiber; it is not firm and the coating comes off, leading to a negative experience.

Taste the bacon coated with unbeliev-a flour; it has a good texture but detracts from the bacon taste.

Taste the bacon coated with ketochow pecan sticky bun; it sticks to the rack but has a pleasant flavor, though not crispy.

Taste the bacon coated with ever crisp; it is fairly crispy but has an off taste.

Decide to conduct a full review of the unbeliev-a flour for chicken breading.

Prepare another batch with plain bacon, ketochow maple waffle, and chocolate peanut butter for comparison.

Dredge a piece of bacon in all-purpose flour and place it in the oven at 368°F.

After cooking, taste the plain bacon and note it is firm and good.

Taste the ketochow bacon, noting that cooking it longer improves its texture.

Taste the other ketochow bacon and confirm it is also good and crispy.
