Oven cooked bacon!
After seeing so many pins about cooking bacon in the oven instead of frying, I finally tried it today.
Mind=blown. Seriously, it was so easy, turned out awesome, and best of all, no clean up. Where has this been all my life? All you do is line a baking dish with foil (a large shallow pan like a jelly roll or rimmed cookie sheet would be best). Arrange bacon on the foil, put it in the oven and turn it to 400, don't preheat. Check it around 17-20 minutes and take it out when it's done. That's it! After breakfast I threw out the foil with the cooled grease in it, the pans were still perfectly clean, no washing required! Advertisement

Re: Oven cooked bacon!
I know, we tried this a couple of weeks ago and I'm never pan frying bacon again! We did one batch with a little brown sugar and cayenne pepper sprinkled on it and it was so good too!

We've been doing oven bacon for a few months and I love it! There are a lot of us so it took forever to cook bacon before. I'm glad you made that discovery!

Re: Oven cooked bacon!
If you have one of those stone pans from pampered chef you can skip the foil.

Re: Oven cooked bacon!
I cook 3 pounds at a time and lay it on wax paper sheets and freeze in a freezer bag- then I have my own pre-cooked bacon with just a few seconds in the microwave!
Pre-cooked bacon costs $20+ per pound- I can get uncooked bacon for $3 per pound- huge savings!

Re: Oven cooked bacon!
I almost always bake my bacon in the oven it is such a time and mess saver. I also save the bacon grease to skillet cook my hamburgers and in a couple of other recipes too.
