How Do I Make Bacon Perfectly In The Oven?
Right! Let’s get to the meat (get it?) of this post. So, the trick is not to use a frying pan at at all. We’re going to use an oven. Cooking bacon in the oven applies a nice even heat to all sides of the bacon at once. It also let’s you cook larger quantities of bacon at once. How do you think diners make all that perfect bacon so quickly? They have it on hand because they cook it in batches in the oven.
Ok, I kind of lied. There isn’t ONE simple trick for cooking bacon perfectly. There are two. The other one is using an aluminum baking sheet and lining it parchment paper. Parchment paper provides a “softer” heat that ensures your bacon crisps evenly. It also makes clean up a cinch!
How Hot Should My Oven Be When Cooking Bacon?
400 degrees Fahrenheit. The direct conversion to Celsius is 204 degrees, but you can just set it to 200ยบ. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper, if the paper keeps rolling up you can use a bit of honey on the edges to tack it down. Lay out your bacon in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.
You’ll need two pans to cook a whole 1 pound package. Next, simply pop the pans in the oven and cook for 12 – 18 minutes. The crispiness of your bacon depends on how long you cook it. The longer the time the crispier it is. Duh. Depending on your oven, you may need to rotate the pan after the first 12 – 15 minutes but I didn’t. The beauty of this method is you don’t have to flip the bacon. It’s basically a 1 step process. After your bacon has reached it’s desired crispiness, take it out and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels and dab the excess fat if you’d like.
To clean up, just pick up the parchment and throw it away. Your pan should be fairly clean and only need a quick wipe down. Now you have a pound of perfectly cooked bacon. What ever shall you do with it? Follow my Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram and I’ll have all the answers for you. 72 answers.

PS. While I was writing this post, I was also listening to a radio program on Zika. The guest said the word sperm and I accidentally wrote “The best way to get perfectly cooked sperm”. I posted this little anecdote on Facebook and was pointed toward these two gems
