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!

Good idea Christine.
One of my absolute favourites :-) Just had 5 bacon and 3 egg yolks..egg whites are so boring LOL
every little detail makes a difference
Looks perfect! Great to know!
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
I don't have parchment paper!!!
I don't cook bacon much, but when I do I always bake it.
No mess that I noticed the fat all seems to be on the parchment after.
Sounds great! Hugs, Valerie
Good idea;-)
I always bake in cast iron skillet then use the oil to flavor breakfast rice.
Fica uma delicia e fica bem mais fácil sem sujar a cozinha.
Beijos.

Oh this sounds great. I have been air drying my bacon. I will put it on bake mode next time.
I'm surprised at this method, maybe I should try it.
I need to try this would save allot of time too-thank you for sharing with us on Food Wednesdays
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!
Sounds a little healthier, doesn't it?
I keep meaning to try vegetarian bacon
Hmmmmm, looks yummy, too and likely does not smell that strong?
Genial tip. Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
looks amazing dear Christine
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
You are right there is less bacon smell too bad
That's a great way to bake bacon!
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 have tried microwave sometimes.
I am going to try it this way Christine, thanks again!
Many thanks for sharing this ...
All the best Jan
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!
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. :-)
