For the bacon lovers

Anyone tried bakin' bacon? Oh my lord - it's a whole other level of heaven!

Yep, been there, done that
Microwaving also works, but baking is nicer.

Only way I do it now (other than on the Blackstone outside)......stovetop just makes too much of a mess! Also, I can fit WAY more on trays in the oven!

On a raised rack is even better in the oven. Many commercial kitchens bake their bacon. It’s just easier and tastes better.

I roast it / bake it on a sheet pan with parchment paper. Cleanup is easy.

When I was in college and worked in on-campus food service, the central kitchen baked many, many full sheet pans of bacon on parchment every day for BLT sandwiches. Who's to say that a few slices weren't snagged as a snack here or there?

At home, I bake bacon on foil in a 400*F oven. I use wide HD foil on a half sheet pan and cover the whole inside--bottom and rim all the way up and over the edge. When done, let the foil cool, remove and toss the foil with grease, and the pan is perfectly clean and goes right back into the cabinet.

I pour the bacon fat in a jar and use it to start a chimney of coal. The parchment paper makes a good pourer.

Dark chocolate covered tastes even better. So I’ve heard.

My nephew has gotten to cooking bacon very often in the oven lately. Unbeknownst to them, there was quite a build up of bacon grease spatter in the oven over time. A few weeks ago, my sister in law decided to use the self clean feature on the oven, and the inside of the oven caught on fire. Make sure that you are wiping out the oven on occasion if you're doing bacon in there.
