Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for cooking bacon bits which uses a continuous cooker. Bacon and bacon fat are delivered to the cooker which uses an auger to move the bacon from one end of the cooker to the other. The cooker is heated, for example, using a steam supply to heat a jacket on the outside of the cooker. The auger moves the bacon and bacon fat from the beginning point of the cooker to the exit point of the cooker. The heated jacket provides the heat needed to cook the bacon. Steam is injected in the casing to bubble through the oil and product.
