How To Bake Perfect Bacon Every Time
Description
The recipe directs to prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil and optionally using a wire rack to hold the bacon slices in a single layer. Using the oven's low broil setting at about 450°F, bacon cooks for 15 to 20 minutes until crisp. This approach allows fat to render out evenly and cooks the bacon through without the need for turning. The fat drips away from the bacon on the rack or pools on the foil, helping achieve desired texture.
This technique is convenient for making quantity servings with less splatter and hands-on attention than skillet frying. Hot, crispy bacon slices are ideal for breakfast plates, salads, or sandwiches.
