We cook real bacon in the oven at 350 degrees, on non-stick aluminum foil on a cookie sheet with sides. Put it in there for about 20 minutes, but check on it every few minutes. We only do this on the holidays, since my boyfriend and I try and be calorie and fat conscious.
I did this in my oven last month at 350, there was so much grease and smoke I had to clean the oven, so I will not be trying it again. Plus I had just cleaned my oven after the Holiday dinners so the oven was clean when I put the bacon in.
Yeah, that was the first thing I wondered when I saw this question! Ewwwwwww! Sorry you had such a mess!
Plus, isn't heating up a big oven for bacon a real waste of energy? It's so much faster and easier in the microwave!
I'm an oven bacon baker. But I also am a bacon fryer. I am a bacon bi cooker. LOL
To answer the OP: I place the bacon strips on a rack the rack sits in a cookie sheet that is lined with foil. I bake it at 350 for about 20 minutes (depending on how many slices, etc.). I have a self clean oven and don't really have a problem with a mess. Hope this helps.
I have been using the oven for bacon for years with no mess. 350° 15-20 minutes single layer on a cookie sheet I pour the grease in my little crock when it is done.
You could try parchment paper on top if you are getting a mess but I honestly never have had a problem. It is a good way to get a bunch of bacon done while you are cooking other things for breakfast.
I tried cooking bacon all ways, but the way I like best is on the George Foreman grill. It stays nice and straight. I cook it for myself, so I cook the whole pound in 2 shifts and freeze it cooked, take it out as I need it.
Ok-So I guess I'm the only one who buys the bacon already cooked! LOL!
When we go camping a special treat is to have REAL bacon in the morning.
I just hate all that grease!
Nope, I buy it too. I always have the precooked bacon in the frig. Actually buy the large package from Costco. I can just take a couple pieces out and warm it and either put it on my salad or just make a sandwich I do find the precooked one not so salty, which is a good thing even if we're talking bacon
