This is the same method restaurants use. Thats how their bacon stays flat and straight, or some use the grill press to keep them flat on the flat grill. You can also cook lots of bacon ahead of time and freeze it this way also. We have been doing this since I started working in a restaurant...oh so many years ago lolol

Thanks for sharing. I do not like frying bacon, I plan on trying this recipe tomorrow.

We always bake bacon, we don't even turn it.

If you use the really wide alumium foil to line your pan, clean up is super fast and easy!

Does it splatter all over the oven though? I think baking is a geat idea, going to have to try it.

This is a great way to cook bacon, I've been doing it for years. When I worked in food service this was the only way we cooked it. For some reason the bacon doesnt seem to shrink as much either.

My son cooks bacon on the grill outside. He cooks a lot of it and freezes the cooked bacon. Makes life easier to just take some already cooked out of the freezer.

When I was doing chemo, the nurses suggested cooking bacon this way to minimize the smell in the house.

Some smells would cause nausea. Now that we are back to using the skillet, four years later, the smell of bacon frying still gets me sometimes.

I usually buy a two pound package. I take a pair of kitchen scissors and snip three pieces at a time into small pieces. I cook it in my dutch oven on top of the stove until almost crisp, drain on a paper towel and place in a small ziplock. We don't eat a lot of sandwiches but we do like casseroles and I always have it handy. Just sprinkle it on top of salads also. Dutch oven just wipes clean. Try it. I just place my scissors in the dishwasher when I am finished.
