Oven Baked Bacon
Description
This recipe involves preheating the oven and placing bacon strips in a single layer on a wire rack set over foil to catch drippings. Baking for 15 to 18 minutes at a high temperature renders fat and crisps the bacon. The rack prevents the bacon from sitting in its fat, promoting consistent texture and preventing sogginess.
The bacon develops a crisp exterior while retaining some chewiness depending on baking time. It can be served immediately, drained on paper towels to remove excess grease. This oven method reduces mess and hands-on cooking compared to stovetop frying and yields bacon suitable for breakfast plates or sandwich ingredients.
