Oven-cooked bacon


I can never seem to cook bacon on the stove top or an electric skillet without ruining both the bacon and the outfit I'm wearing. Hence oven-cooked bacon. 

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil and place bacon on sheet so that the strips are not touching. Bake for 12-17 minutes. Start watching at 12 minutes. 

I found with a pound of thick sliced bacon I filled one pan and had 4 slices on the next pan. The pan with only 4 slices was burnt after 12 minutes but the full pan was perfectly cooked. Make sure to take the bacon out just before it looks done because it will continue to cook some with the residual grease. 

Remove from pan and drain on a paper-towel covered plate. Blot to remove extra grease.
