People be bitching but you can absolutely have cooked but still a bit chewy bacon like this and now you’ve got a sheet pan with glorious bacon fat to roast some veg in later.

This is the best way to prepare a lot of bacon at the same time, and the rendered bacon fat will be clear and be saved for later (roasted veg and potatoes, soup add-in, searing steak/pork, etc.).

Delicious!

Doesn't the splatter hit the oven iron and inside top area? How do you clean those, especially the heating element so it doesn't send cleaning product fumes everywhere next time you turn the oven on?

It doesn’t splatter in the oven unless you are cooking it to high. I haven’t seen an oven in years that isn’t self cleaning but you can always wipe it out with wet paper towels when it is room temperature and get an oven pretty clean.

Finally, someone that thinks like me. That is pure flavor.

there was an old Australian film with Sam Niel and Judy Davis... 'Children Of The Revolution" (great film). At one point a bunch of prisoners go on a hunger strike. To break the strike the guards got a bbq, started sizzling bacon with fans blowing through the place to carry the odour. The strike soon ended lol

I only cook bacon in the oven now. Half the time I cook bacon is just for the fat for other cooking purposes and this method is beautiful for it

Ugh. Tater tots from the frozen aisle 'baked' in bacon grease next to a bacon blue cheese smash burger is my weakness.

When the grease is foamy like this the bacon is perfect. Crispy, but not burnt.

I cook my bacon in the air fryer nowadays in no small part because it's easy to recover the fat for later cooking.
