It would be nice if it has a pour spout to make pouring the grease out easier.
My current pan sucks and is really hard to clean after cooking bacon. I don't know what would be best - calphon, Teflon, cast iron, etc. Thanks! |

bake it in the oven instead, like this: http://www.cupcakediariesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/DSC_0389-2Bcopy.jpg
400 degrees for 15-20 min, comes out perfectly every time. You can even line the cookie sheet with foil for no-mess cleaning. |
| I have a square cast iron pan that must be 50 years old and meets all of your requirements. You could check the Lodge website to see if they make one. Le Creuset also makes a square one, but I think it may be a grill pan and not be flat bottomed. |
+100 Cooking bacon in the oven is the best! |
op here, thanks! I've never heard of this and am definitely going to try it! |
It will change your life! |

I used to cook bacon in the oven...
but the BEST way is actually using a george foreman grill or a panini maker. It cooks it PERFECTLY, quickly, and all the grease drains into a tray that you toss out in the trash. Easy peasy cleanup! |
PP again. Oh, and the pieces don't shrivel up - they lay flat like at the restaurant when they put a weight over it, so it looks pretty on the plate.

Darn, I had one of those grills, but have it away. I never tried bacon on it though
|

Thanks for the tip on the Foreman grill. I was a bacon baker, but am definitely trying this.
|
Don't need it. Bacon from the oven is so, so easy. |
I only make bacon on the weekends, but am definitely trying this next Saturday! I hate how messy frying it is. |
| Do I need something special to cook bacon in the oven? |
Nope, just aluminum foil and a baking sheet. Too easy. |
