Follow up question from the incompetent cook

[Anonymous]

So, I'm the PP who was struggling with roasted veggies last week. Now I've decided to brave the kitchen again. I read here that you can bake bacon and I want to give it a try.

Here's my question,

I have a "recipe" which is good, but I want to know if I can put a baked item (cinnamon rolls from a can, if you must know) on the other rack while the bacon is baking. It calls for the same temperature, so I thought maybe yes, or will I end up with greasy (or rather, greasier than cinnamon rolls from a can usually are, I acknowledge this is not a health food to start) bacony rolls?

I bake bacon all the time - google "bacon in oven" for the best way that starts with a cold oven.

Bacon spits grease a LOT and makes a mess of the oven, so I wouldn't put anything else in there while it was baking.

No. I would make the bacon first, then the rolls, since you have to start with a cold oven for the bacon.

PP again. You will need to take the bacon out and put it on paper towels, so just pop the rolls in while the bacon is draining.

Also your cinnamon rolls may end up tasting like bacon. Well, now that I think about it, bacon-infused cinnamon rolls doesn't sound too bad!

OP here,

So I did it and the bacon and the rolls came out fine and yummy. It's possible that the rolls tasted like bacon, but not so much like bacon that it was noticeable when they were on the same plate and you were alternating bites.

The bacon came out perfect, and it was so easy. I'll definitely do this again!

NP - DH found something online where you unroll an unbaked cinnamon roll, add a piece of bacon, roll the whole thing back up, and bake them together.

He is very, very excited about this
