Bacon Roses

Step 2: Preparing the Pans

Drill holes in the bottom of the muffin pan. This will allow the grease to drain when cooking the bacon.
Place the muffin pan on top of the broiler pan.

I made these, and they were wonderful. I didn't have a mini muffin tin, however, and was too poor to get one. Instead I made cups out of tin foil and put them in the broiler pan. Poked holes in the bottom, and they worked great! The downside is that you can only make a few this way, my pan could fit 12 of the cups.

There are no metal shavings if you just punch the holes with a nail.

+1 I had the idea of using a nail because the depressed bottom that will result helps the grease drain.

Good point. Even better if you use a cheapie pan as suggested in some other comments.

[kaptaink_cg]

Very true. I thought about puncturing them with a nail, but I was afraid the holes would "push out" which could scratch everything up.

Do you think flipping the mini muffin pan upside down onto the broiler would give you the safe effect?

[kaptaink_cg]

Probably not.. The roses wouldn't form correctly.

These bacon roses are both beautiful and tasty.
This is a great concept and easy to follow instructable.
Looks like a winner to me.
I do agree with bentm about the pan, a shame to ruin it for other uses but, C'est la vie.

It's not ruined, it's my "Bacon-Rose-Pan"! :) I'll just have to use mini muffin cups if I want to cook anything else.

I love these! Nice execution!

I wonder if the roses be rolled up or wrapped around a skewer, tied with kitchen string, and baked upright on a rack. Though I don't think the holes would ruin the pan for other uses entirely, it does seem potentially wasteful.
