Tips
When cooking bacon, drain the oil using a simmering basket and do NOT pour oil down the sink.
For the first 30 minutes of reducing liquid, you may want to place the empty simmering basket on the lid to act as a splash guard while evaporation continues through the hole.
Check the consistency and choose your preference; you can process for 2-4 seconds on speed 4 for smoothness, or keep it chunkier.
Keep in mind that the sauce will solidify when cooled.
