OVEN-BAKED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place bacon slices one next to the other on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Flip bacon slices with kitchen tongs and return to oven. Bake until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. Thinner slices will need less time, about 20 minutes total. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

PERFECT OVEN-COOKED BACON

Steps:

• DO NOT pre-heat the oven.
• You will not be using the 1/4 teaspoon water. I had to add it to the ingredients list because Food.com will not let you upload a recipe that only has one ingredient, so I had to make up a second ingredient.
• Place the bacon in a single layer on a cold, rimmed baking sheet. If you like, you can line the pan with parchment paper to make clean-up easier, but I like to save my bacon grease to cook with, and the parchment makes it difficult to get it all out of the baking sheet, so I just leave the pan unlined.
• Place the pan on the center rack of a cold oven. Set the oven to 400º.
• Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Very thin bacon will only take about 15 minutes, thick-cut bacon will take 20. After 15 minutes, keep an eye on the bacon to make sure it is not getting too brown.
• Immediately remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Blot the top of the bacon with paper towels to remove extra grease.
• If you like, save the bacon grease in a heat-proof container. The grease can be stored in the fridge and used later in other recipes - you just got two products for the price of one :).

PERFECT BAKED BACON

Steps:

• Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat lightly with oil spray.
• Lay out bacon in a single layer. Put in a cold oven.
• Turn on to 400°F; Set timer for 17 minutes.
• When the 17 minutes is up, check every 1-2 minutes until done. It will look slightly undercooked in the oven. Take it out now & it will be perfect - crispy but not hard.
• variations:.
• 1. sprinkle with brown sugar before baking.
• 2. sprinkle with black pepper before baking.
• 3. lightly coat with jerk seasoning before baking.
