I simply loved the way the bacon came out, flat and crispy. I did cook mine for 30 minutes, turning halfway though.

I always have cooked my bacon like this. It is super easy and frees up my time to do other things in the kitchen. However, I cook mine at 400 degree for 20 minutes.

I gave this five stars because it gave me the idea to put bacon in the oven. After reading all the reviews, I tried mine two ways - first on a cookie sheet and then on a cooling rack over the cookie sheet. I used thick sliced bacon and found that it cooked best on a cooling rack over the cookie sheet at 400 degrees. It took about 15 minutes and I turned it once during cooking. What a great way to cook bacon!! I then let it cool completely, after draining it on paper towels, and stored it in single layers separated by waxed paper in the freezer. Now, if we want bacon, we pull out the slices we need, microwave for about 30 seconds, and it is the best bacon ever! Thank you so much for this wonderful idea!!

The best way to fix bacon. I've been doing this for quite some time...fast, no mess and uniform crispy slices.

I actually thought my husband must have posted this recipe..lol This is EXACTLY how we have made bacon for 20 yrs! It is PERFECT and SO easy! The other step that should have been added is the clean up...if you have lined the pan thoroughly, the greatest part of this method is that you can let the bacon grease solidify and simply remove the foil & discard! (We wash our cookie sheet, too, but it isn't covered in bacon fat!)

dark pan - use foil or thin bacon will burn. light pan - no foil OK, but clean up is easier with foil. I've never experienced spatter as noted in one review, no need to cover

Turns out great this way, but BE CAREFUL! I keep a box of baking soda on the back of the oven always and have never needed it until my husband started cooking bacon this way. The splatter can ignite your oven, so be prepared! It only happened one time but that was enough! This method doesn't burn the grease and causes fewer bacon "crumbs" so I prefer this since I run the grease through a coffee filter and refrigerate it for use in other recipes.

This is the absolute best way to make bacon!! I always line my pan with foil. Easier to clean. It turns out perfect every time. Mine usually takes longer than 10-15 mins though.

I haven't tried this yet but sounds good. I have cooked my bacon for years in the microwave between paper towels. I cook a pound at a time using 6 layers of paper towels for about 10 min. then I take it out remove the paper towels, put fresh ones down with bacon and cook for 4-5 min. more. CRISP and no grease or splatter.

This is the method I use, whether cooking for a crowd or not. I use a 300 degree oven, line with foil for easy cleanup, and cook for 30 minutes or so, while everyone is waking up - this gives them time to get hungry for breakfast. With this method, the bacon comes out just right, whether I use thick or regular.
