@mandaris that is how I cook bacon too ! Save that fat. I love to fry my eggs in it.

@mandaris Oven bacon is the best, nice and crispy. We don’t cook it any other way now.

@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.

@mandaris @pimoore My secret to crispy oven bacon is to put a cookie cooling rack in the pan and put the bacon on the rack. If you're in a rush, Foreman grill bacon is great, too.
