I have never cooked bacon this way but I was having 15 people for brunch so I tried it. I made the bacon the day before, put it in the fridge and stuck it in the oven to warm before eating. I worked great! I even got a thank you card and a chocolate covered bacon bar because it was so tasty. Easy too! Thanks.

Ahhh bacon parties. I remember my younger days when we had bacon block parties. I'm glad it worked and I would even venture further to predict that your party, was truly, AWESOME.

I've done this before, but I've placed the bacon on the rack and lined a cookie sheet with foil to catch the drippings - this results in a more crispy bacon (which I prefer) - Great Instructable!

Ahh yes, I can see the bacon being less greasy and crispier, BUT, you will now have to clean your oven rack. Unless you enjoy that kind of clean up, I'm not sure that it would be worth it, Kind of like puncing that huge dude at the other end of the bar because he looked at you funny,(he had it coming).

Generally, I just set my oven to self-clean if there is much of a mess, which surprisingly, there is not. Besides, I'm a non-violent carnivore... ha!

That looks better than the way we do bacon at my place. We get it good and greasy in the frying pan, not to mention fattening and heart stupid. Your way looks good, especially if you have a convection oven....

[shmacky26]

I really don't think that it's any healthier than in the pan, I think the key to Bacon health is to make sure you eat your bacon with veggies and something with fiber in it. A well balanced meal. Most like to cook their eggs and potatoes in the bacon grease, just not good for you. Then again, I drank about 50 beers this week, so what the hell do I know. The good part about drinking 50 beers for me though, I don't get drunk, I get awesome.

[KryptoTSD]

Okay. I agree with you on that... I want to do this the next time we have bacon and eggs for either breakie or lunch... Thanks a bunch!

Nice & appetizing. Could you increase the temp to decrease the cook time, or is 350 the best for outcome? have you ever tried that boxed bacon that doesnt need refrig?

[shmacky26]

Although I can't say for sure, I would imagine bacon cooked on too high a temp in the oven would get awefully messy. I would recommend the best. However, Bacon is powerful enough that if you did put your oven on HIGH BROIL, you just may be able to generate the 1.21 jigawatts of power which makes time travel possible. I will see you in the future.

[bustedit]

Excellent. If you could please provide some pics of the bacon generating 1.21 jig, I would appreciate it. I am having difficulty getting the same results, but perhaps it's the turkey bacon my wife made me buy. Turkey bacon. Turkey burgers. Turkey dogs. Turkey tacos. Turkey jerky.

uuhhh.... cannibalism is outlawed in the U.S.

Hmmm u calling me a turkey, turkey? Tell Polly Purebred she left her leash under my bed...again.

[shmacky26]

Geez, You must hate Thanksgiving, or your wife, but I can't say either for sure. I think it's the type of bacon that you are using. The only way to get garenteed results would be to put an actual live pig in your oven, but I'm not responsible for the outcome. Some scientist beleive this may the sole reason why some people spontaneouly combust. True Story.
