SUPER EASY: BAKING BACON
My daughter taught me to cook bacon with no splatter or mess on the stove top, by baking it instead. I use a 10"x15" jelly roll pan or the bottom of a broiling pan. I buy parchment paper for baking in rolls in bulk online, but you can get it at the supermarket or any cooking supply store. I bake 3 pounds of bacon at a time and freeze it in individual servings.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a 10"x15" jelly roll pan with parchment paper for cooking/baking.
- Place 8 slices of bacon across the short side of the jelly roll pan flat on top of the parchment paper.
- When the oven comes up to temperature, place the pan with the bacon on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- When the 15 minutes is up, check the bacon.
- We like our bacon limp, but if you like it crispy, add more time, rechecking it every 1-2 minutes for desired doneness.
- Remove finished bacon to paper towels or brown paper and blot excess grease off bacon with paper towels.
- Drain bacon grease into a can.
- Repeat process until entire 3-pounds of bacon is cooked.
- Freeze in portion sized bags.
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: Thicker bacon slices will hold up better in the oven and produce crispier results.
- Use parchment paper: This will help keep your baking sheet clean and make cleanup a breeze.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the bacon slices so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the bacon at a high temperature: This will help to render the fat and crisp up the bacon.
- Watch the bacon closely: Bacon can go from perfectly cooked to overcooked very quickly, so keep an eye on it while it's baking.
- Let the bacon cool before serving: This will help to prevent it from becoming too greasy.
Conclusion:
Baking bacon in the oven is a quick and easy way to get perfectly cooked bacon every time. With just a few simple tips, you can have delicious, crispy bacon in no time. So next time you're craving bacon, give this oven-baked method a try. You won't be disappointed!
