Bacon in a Cold Oven (No Pre-heating Required)
Description
The recipe involves laying out 12 ounces of sliced bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet without overlapping. Placing the tray in a cold oven and setting the temperature to 425°F allows the bacon to cook slowly as the oven heats, helping the fat render gradually for consistent texture. Rotating the tray once the oven reaches 375°F ensures even cooking on all slices. After total cooking time, bacon is drained on paper towels to remove excess grease, leaving crisp, evenly cooked strips.
This technique avoids preheating and is straightforward for an efficient baking approach that produces bacon suitable for breakfast or adding to sandwiches and salads.
