Place the guanciale in a cold 12-inch deep skillet or wide saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are golden and just crisp at the edges, 6–8 minutes. Use tongs to transfer the guanciale to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
