Have you struggled to perfect your bacon in the past? This tried and tested method will result in your breakfast coming out perfectly every time.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/p>\n
Prepare the baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.<\/p>\n
Arrange bacon strips: Place the bacon strips on the wire rack, ensuring they are not overlapping. This allows the heat to circulate and helps the bacon cook evenly.<\/p>\n
Bake: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on the bacon starting around the 12-minute mark. The bacon is ready when it reaches your desired level of crispiness.<\/p>\n
Drain and Serve: Once the bacon is cooked to perfection, use tongs to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you like your bacon extra crispy, you can broil it for the last 1-2 minutes, but be attentive to prevent burning.<\/p>\n
For added flavor, sprinkle black pepper or brown sugar on the bacon before baking.<\/p>\n
This oven method is convenient because it allows you to cook a large batch of bacon at once, and the wire rack helps the fat drip away, resulting in crispy and delicious bacon. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference for crispiness and the thickness of the bacon slices.<\/p>\n
