Steps:
- Bring the bacon to room temperature. Lay the strips in a cold skillet, raise the heat to medium and cook, turning, until desired crispness, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. For large batches, lay the strips on a foil-lined baking sheet in a cold oven; set to 400 degrees F and bake 15 to 20 minutes.
PERFECT OVEN-COOKED BACON
This recipe differs from others in method - it produces bacon slices which are perfectly flat - better for sandwiches and some recipes which call for cooked bacon. You will not be using the 1/4 teaspoon water. Food.com will not let you upload a recipe that only has one ingredient, so I had to make up a second ingredient. I tried putting in "love" but it wouldn't let me. You should always be cooking with love, btw.

Steps:
- DO NOT pre-heat the oven.
- You will not be using the 1/4 teaspoon water. I had to add it to the ingredients list because Food.com will not let you upload a recipe that only has one ingredient, so I had to make up a second ingredient.
- Place the bacon in a single layer on a cold, rimmed baking sheet. If you like, you can line the pan with parchment paper to make clean-up easier, but I like to save my bacon grease to cook with, and the parchment makes it difficult to get it all out of the baking sheet, so I just leave the pan unlined.
- Place the pan on the center rack of a cold oven. Set the oven to 400ยบ.
- Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Very thin bacon will only take about 15 minutes, thick-cut bacon will take 20. After 15 minutes, keep an eye on the bacon to make sure it is not getting too brown.
- Immediately remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Blot the top of the bacon with paper towels to remove extra grease.
- If you like, save the bacon grease in a heat-proof container. The grease can be stored in the fridge and used later in other recipes - you just got two products for the price of one :).
OVEN-BAKED BACON
I always bake bacon in the oven! You just need to plan a bit ahead as the bacon takes longer. With baking, the bacon grease stays nice and clean and you can reuse it to saute vegetables or eggs for extra flavor.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place bacon slices one next to the other on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Flip bacon slices with kitchen tongs and return to oven. Bake until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. Thinner slices will need less time, about 20 minutes total. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

OVEN BACON
Cooking bacon in the oven gives you perfectly crispy slices without any flipping or fussing, and the cleanup is superspeedy. It's also the best way to make bacon for a crowd. You can cook the bacon directly on aluminum foil-lined baking sheets or on a wire rack set on top of the baking sheets. The latter method will give you extracrispy bacon, but you'll have to wash that greasy rack. Your choice!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on 2 aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheets, or, for extracrispy bacon, arrange on 2 wire racks set over 2 foil-lined rimmed baking sheets.
- Bake until the bacon is browned and starts to ripple, or to desired doneness, 10 to 20 minutes. (Because the cook time depends on the thickness of the bacon and how you like it cooked, start checking doneness at the 10-minute mark.)
- Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Tips:
- Choose the right bacon: Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the bacon is crispy and flavorful.
- Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start cooking the bacon. This will help the bacon cook evenly.
- Use a wire rack: Place the bacon on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This will allow the grease to drip off the bacon and help it cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the bacon strips so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the bacon will steam instead of crisp up.
- Flip the bacon halfway through cooking: This will help ensure that the bacon is cooked evenly on both sides.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it. However, most bacon will take about 15-20 minutes to cook.
- Let the bacon cool before serving: This will help the bacon stay crispy.
Conclusion:
Oven-cooked bacon is a delicious and easy way to cook bacon. By following these tips, you can ensure that your bacon is cooked perfectly every time.
