...to make oven baked perfect bacon without buying anything special to make it, limited mess and ease of clean up.
Set your oven to 400 degree.
Get out a cookie sheet and aluminum foil.
Line the cookie sheet, then fold a second full length sheet in half, then like an accordion (if you use heavy duty foil, no need to double it up).
Lay them out on the cookie sheet in the best configuration for cooking the most bacon strips.
Add the bacon like so...
I put the pan on the second shelf down, about a foot from the top burner. It took 15 minutes in five minute increments, rotating the pan 180 degrees at the end of each.
Made the best, crispy, tender, melt-in-your-mouth bacon with the least amount of fuss that I've made at home.
You could likely use a wire rack of some kind, but this is completely wash free...not even the cookie sheet is dirty. It also makes it very easy to pour the rendered bacon grease thru a coffee filter to save it for other uses.
Not my original idea...found it on a food-hack website I subscribe to.
