Adding a small amount of water to bacon in a cold frying pan can help the fat render gradually, producing evenly cooked, crispier and less greasy bacon while reducing splattering and cleanup. The recommended method is to add just enough water to barely cover the bacon, bring it to a boil, reduce the heat until the water evaporates, then finish cooking the bacon in its rendered fat and turn it once for even browning.
