Did bacon in the oven today. It felt wrong, but was quick and easy to clean up.
I like to bake it in the oven as well. Less messy indeed. However, my wife will sometimes get some thick cut Smithfield bacon and cook it on the griddle with a griddle press keeping it flat. Mmmm Mmmm.... Good stuff right there.

It does indeed feel a little sacrilegious to cook it in the oven.....However I quickly get over that feeling when I can cook 2lbs per sheet pan (18"x 26") and six sheet pans at once in 20 minutes (commercial oven). It takes longer to lay it out on the pans than cook it!

You know that's technically just a salad with over-sized croutons right?
I have a confession...
I LOVE BLT's made with this stuff!
For the oven method, would putting it on racks work? I kinda like my bacon a bit drier than most, the flavor is in the fat that cooks, not the fat that melts off IMO.
@Goofyfoot2001 is that 20 on 200 or 20 on 500? Paleo or Atkins? I need to get back to the weight loss thread, had a chicken biscuit and cookie for breakfast today. Hard to deal with diet on 4 hours sleep.
Is that on paper towels? What is your temp? I love having cooked bacon in my mouth sooner, any tips greatly appreciated.
I do a pan like yours for 15 minutes at 350, pull it out drain the grease, flip the bacon and do 15 more minutes at 350.
If it takes you a page to cook bacon, you're cooking it wrong.
lb thick bacon in a tin foil lined broiler pan at 400 for 30 minutes. Thin bacon 25 min. No preheat. Done. If it not, cook it a few minutes more.
You got a lot of nerve telling Professor Bacon his masters thesis in baconating is unsound. I'll bet you didn't even put veggie-fakin'-bacon dude on your ignore list did ya?
Dang! Thanks to a lone star tick bite I’ve not eaten any bacon or other red meat in 1.5 years.

Sure does look good. I can look at the pictures and smell it cooking.
brilliantI laugh in your face. Ha.
