I've been cooking bacon this way for 30+ years--I married a chef, and learned many "tricks-of-the-trade". If you order bacon at a restaurant, this is basically how it was cooked. Home ovens can vary in temperature, especially if you have had yours for a while. Raise the temperature a bit on this recipe if the bacon isn't cooking as fast as you'd like. Turn on the exhaust fan while the bacon cooks. I drain the fat off the bacon half-way through the cooking time. I don't remove the bacon when I do this, I just carefully tip the baking pan at one end and drain the fat into a container. I turn the bacon once during baking, but this is just a personal preference. I also line the pans with foil. I have a large extended family, so that when we all gather for our traditional Christmas morning abelskiver breakfast, I bake six packages of bacon the afternoon before, refrigerate it until morning, then re-heat it briefly before serving. My family never knew that I did it this way, and they couldn't tell that it had been cooked earlier.

Way better tasting than using the microwave. The only way we do bacon. Turkey bacon, pig bacon, all of it. Best way.

This took WAY longer to cook than stated, and I used regular sliced, not thick. I turned it, and eventually separated the pieces (from the recommended layers) and eventually turned on the broiler to crisp it up. I like that it doesn't curl up, and it is very easy to do this way. I will do it again, especially for a crowd, but I will take the time into better account. Luckily, turning on the broiler at any point speeds up the process. Overall, great way to do bacon.

This was the easiest and best way I have ever made bacon. I typcially use the pre-cooked stuff because of how much I dislike frying it up. But, this makes perfect bacon without the mess! I used a cooling rack on top of a foil lined cookie sheet to ensure crispiness.

This would have been great if I could got my smoke detector to stop going off from all the smoke the bacon created.

My bacon turned out perfectly cooked, not all curled up, and there's no mess to clean on the stove top! I didn't use thick cut, just regular sliced, and it still took about 20-25 mins to crisp up the way we like it.

I cranked the oven up to 425 and it baked in half the time. My family likes crispy bacon and this did the job with minimal work!

I decided to bake my bacon this morning because I just cleaned my kitchen and didn't want to make a mess. I wasn't sure about the recipe but I will never fry bacon again. I cooked on 375 for 1/2 hour and put the bacon on a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet so all the bacon grease would drain onto the baking sheet and leave crispy bacon. It turned out perfect!!

I hate frying bacon. I tried this method although I started out with the oven set at 375- the bacon cooked for about 15 minutes when I realized it was going to take too long! I upped the oven to 420 for about 10 minutes and the bacon still looked undercooked. So, I turned my broiler on high for about 3-5 minutes and the bacon ended up coming out Perfect! Tasted wonderful with very little effort on my part! Yay! I will cook my bacon this way from now on. Thanks!

I really like this method, but like the previous reviewer I had a few issues. I put the oven on 400 from the start but had to cook about 20-25 minutes anyway. I needed a portion of the bacon relatively quickly, so I ended up pan frying that portion the rest of hte way. However, the bacon that I left in the oven did crisp up, just slowly. I really think that my issue was the bacon I used. I had homemade, hand cut bacon from bf's family farm, and it is THICK, which makes me think it's the bacon. I love the method, though, so I'll definitely use this again and just give myself more time if I have the same type of bacon again. Thanks for the recipe!

I can't believe that you awesome cooks still heat up your oven (& house) especially in the summertime cooking thick bacon! Please join the me in the new frontier. I learned this, by accident, when I bought my first TURKEY BACON, put it on 2 folded sheets of paper toweling. covered with 1 sheet & used my God given MICROWAVE at FULL POWER! 2 Slices - 1 & 1/2 to 2 minures, 3-4 slices - 3 & 1/2 to 4 minutes! And so on & so forth! You can use a flat glass oven pan & just put them directly on the heavy glass turntable! My home stays COOL! How Cool is this ?????

I must admit, I shy away from cooking bacon for breakfast for my family soley due to the mess it makes. If we are tring to get out of the house for our daily activities it just seems a chore. I tried cooking the bacon in the oven and I will never cook it on the stove again. I lined a cookie sheet with 2 layers of foil, and it turned out excellent. After the bacon grease hardend a little, I rolled up the foil and threw it away! No greasy stove either, hooray, my family can eat bacon again! Also I did use thick cut bacon.

This is the way we have done thick sliced bacon at work for years! I tell everyone to do their bacon like this for less shrinkage. We don't overlap or place anything over it and we serve hundreds of people during the day. It really helps if you use a good quality thick bacon like Wright's brand. For some reason it always seems to taste better done this way and we always sell more of it when it is prepared like this than any other way we've tried.

I have to give Joyce 5 stars just for thinking of submitting this cooking method for Bacon. I have been cooking bacon in the oven for a few years now after seeing Emeril do it on his show one time. This method is adjustable based on your needs of course. I set the oven to 400 degrees and sometimes even 450 if I want it to get done faster. Either temp works well. And I use a sheet pan with edges of course, you don't want grease all over your oven. Also line it with foil for easier cleanup. Sometimes I turn it, sometimes I don't. If you really put a lot of bacon on and the pieces are touching, you might want to turn before it sticks to the piece next to it. The bacon shrinks less than it does when you fry, but it shrinks enough that the pieces won't be touching after a little while. Have never tried the racks or the paper towels ideas that some reviewers have suggested. Will experiment with those as well. I do like saving the bacon grease for later seasoning or if we are having eggs, I just put it in a pan and use it to fry the eggs. There is no downside to using this method. Have used with with thick bacon, thin bacon, peppered bacon(yum), uncured bacon, brown sugar bacon. Any kind of bacon works. I will never fry bacon again!
