Sooooo, I know I just posted an organic juice recipe, but while I was doing that, there was bacon cooking in my oven. (Hey, nobody's perfect). Anyhoo, as I was taking it out of the oven, I realized how the cooking method I started using is so much easier than pan frying, not to mention it's a lot less messy, and the bacon comes out flat and perfectly crisp every time! (The proof is in the pictures).
Here are the steps I take when cooking bacon:
1) Put foil on a cookie sheet.
2) Put a cooling rack on top of the foil. (See photos)
3) Place bacon slices on cooling rack.
4) Place pan in cold oven, on the bottom rack. (no pre-heating!)
5) Turn oven on to 400 degrees F.
6) Set timer for ~20 minutes. (I left mine in for about 23 minutes.)
7)When it looks crisp enough for you, take it out. You can let it cool on a plate if you want, or taste a piece immediately like I did. Fair warning, you might burn your tongue doing this.
This is definitely my preferred method for bacon cooking, and once you try it, I'm sure it will be yours too.
