This is what I do. Also sprinkle with pepper for added flavor.

This is by far the best and easiest way.

A cooling rack on top of the cookie sheet - then it's not sitting in the grease. It comes out flat and perfect every time.

You put the bacon into the cold oven the way we do it:

1. Line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
2. Arrange bacon slices on the foil and place the baking sheet on the center rack of a cold oven. Close oven door. Turn oven on to 400°F. Walk away.
3. Come back 17 to 20 minutes later.

We have something like this as well--a 20 by 12 by 2 inch Calphalon griddle that goes over two burners (we just have regular gas burners with no "bridge" feature). It's our main pancake pan, and it's perfect for bacon as well. You can use it either on the stovetop or in the oven.

Dont bother with a pan with bacon in mind specifically.


I agree wholeheartedly with this. Once we figured this out, we never went back to pan frying.

Yep, another convert here. My friend puts maple syrup on hers toward the end of the cook time--heaven!


I do brown sugar. DH looked at me funny when I said it was the best thing I ever had in my mouth.
