I dice the bacon up l and soak in ice water when i remember , or just cold water
I want to keep the fat firm.
there is no fixed time . I do give it a swirl once and again
15 -- 20 min ? still plenty of bacon and smoke flavor. as its finely diced
a lot of the salt must be in the water.
Ive never tasted the water BTW.
works well for me.
