Why should you bake your bacon?

No need to babysit the bacon.

What you will need to bake bacon:

8 oz bacon

Shallow baking sheet

Foil (heavy-duty preferable)

Metal Cooling Rack (optional)

Non-stick cooking spray

(optional)

Paper towels

• Instructions •
• Line the baking sheet with foil. (You will want to use a baking sheet with enough of a rim containing the bacon drippings.)
• If using a metal cooling rack, spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray and place the rack inside the baking sheet.
• Place the bacon slices in a single layer either directly on the foil on a rack. Make sure not to over-slice.
• Turn the oven on and set it to 400 degrees. Do not wait for the oven to preheat. Go ahead and place the pan in the oven.
• Cook the bacon for 12-17 minutes. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your bacon, and how long it takes for your oven to come to temperature. Start checking your bacon for around 10 minutes to ensure your bacon doesn’t burn.

(There is nothing worse than burnt bacon!)

• When the bacon is golden brown, the bacon is done.
• Once the bacon has reached your desired level of crispiness, remove it immediately and place it on paper towels to soak up the bacon grease.

Eat and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Baked Bacon.

• The oven should be cold when you put the bacon in – do not preheat.
• Make sure you are watching the bacon closely during the last few minutes of baking to ensure that the bacon doesn’t burn.
• Remove the bacon from the rack or baking sheet after removing it from the oven. The bacon will continue cooking as long as it is left in the pan or bacon fat.
• It is easy to flavor up the bacon.
• Try black pepper or brown sugar sprinkled on the top before baking — it will give your bacon a whole new flavor.
