Making bacon for the morning.
@pimoore For whatever reason, I can never get it to be crispy. My wife says that I'm buying very fatty bacon.
@terrygrier We've got a jar of it next to the stove. I cook tooooo much food in bacon fat. I wasn't able to save the fat this time for some reason that I can't remember.
@mandaris I would try foil over the silicon. 350 Oven + Flip once. Mine will get crispy. I used Costco bacon.
@terrygrier @mandaris We always use foil + flip method as well, works every time to get it crispy but not dried out.
@pimoore @terrygrier how are you doing it. I was looking at thebaconmethod.com and it said to just put it in cold overnight and heat it to 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
@mandaris Spread the bacon on a cooling rack set over a cookie sheet. The fat pools on the cookie sheet (save it for frying!), the bacon gets nice and crisp.
@mandaris I’ve been following Dan Benjamin’s instructions for a decade. Well, I don’t follow them to the letter because I select 410 degrees and 22 minutes to start. Sometimes I add minutes if it looks like it needs more. Every oven is different.
I use a glass pan. I get Trader Joe’s Applewood Smoked Bacon. Mine comes out crisp and perfect.
@mandaris Oh, I want to try this! The only place I’ve had oven bacon is at a hotel and it was only so-so. But the fan club here makes me want to try it.
@JMaxB Oops didn't see this before I suggested the same thing.
