Baked Bacon


 Well I found a new way on instagram to prepare a pack of regular bacon.  It says lay the slices out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  They can touch but not overlap to prevent the slices from sticking together.  Then bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes.  Lay the slices on paper towels to drain and discard the parchment paper and the fat.  I will be using this method from now on!

This is what our kids do! Then, they use the parchment paper for kindling. (ツ) from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!

sounds much easier-does it make a mess of the oven? thanks

Granny Annie said...

I don't have parchment paper!!!

Kathy G said...

I don't cook bacon much, but when I do I always bake it.

Christine said...

No mess that I noticed the fat all seems to be on the parchment after.

I always bake in cast iron skillet then use the oil to flavor breakfast rice.

not sure if my reply went through or not -if it did ignore this one I am going to try this out next time, it would save allot of time cooking the bacon too which I usually do in a square cast pan. thanks so much for sharing with us for Food Wednesdays

I'm glad you shared this Deb as I know people who bake their bacon rather than fry it, and I have been curious how to do it. Thanks for sharing!

Sandra Cox said...

Sounds a little healthier, doesn't it?

Adam said...

I keep meaning to try vegetarian bacon

Iris Flavia said...

Hmmmmm, looks yummy, too and likely does not smell that strong?

Well i don't make bacon at home... I hate the mess it makes... Do you cover it when you put it in the oven? I imagine it would really splatter and make a mess of your oven... LOL! can you tell i hate to clean!? Happy Food Wednesday! Hugs! deb

Christine said...

You are right there is less bacon smell too bad

Rain said...

That's a great way to bake bacon!

Christine said...

I didn't notice the mess, must check carefully next time, the parchment paper had a lot of fat collected

Before I was a vegetarian, I did the same in the microwave. I made a "sandwich" by putting parchment paper down, then a paper towel, then the bacon, then a paper towel on top of the bacon, then topped with another piece of parchment paper. I forget how long it took, but I'm thinking three minutes at full power (1100 watt). Much faster and doesn't heat the kitchen. Can you tell I'm a fast, lazy cook? I can tell this was a winner among commenters.

I think my comment must have been lost. I've been looking for this recipe, and am glad you share it. I know people who like to make bacon this way also.

Sounds very interesting, Christine! I've cooked bacon in the microwave but never in the oven. I don't eat it anymore but my husband does. This is a method worth trying. Thanks for sharing it!

Kay said...

And it looks so crispy too. I remember making bacon on a special bacon rack for the microwave which worked well too. I'm afraid we don't eat bacon much these days. Sigh... But I did on my trip. :-)
