Got this little tip from Pinterest, and then saw it done on the Travel Channel's Drive-in's, Diners, and Dives. They were doing a special on the best Bacon places in the U.S. It's so easy, I will always make my bacon this way. Great if you are doing bacon for a large crowd. Do ahead and put it in roasters to keep warm.
The one I saw on Pinterest said to put foil in a half-sheetcake pan and lay the bacon on top of the foil. Oven is at 400º. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until it is like you like it. The restaurant put a cooling rack on top of the foil in the half sheetcake pan and laid the bacon on that. The fat drips away onto the foil for a less greasy piece of bacon. They cooked it at 375º for 20 minutes or until it is like you like it. It always gets a little crispier after it has been taken out and cooled.
So easy and the bacon doesn't shrink as much. It is crispy (depending on how long you cook it) but not brittle. Great when you need to do a lot of bacon. You can do it ahead and put it in a roaster to keep warm. This will be my method of choice, no more getting grease popped on me when cooking bacon. Yay.
Try it, you'll like it!
