Perfect Baked Bacon

No comments
Want to have perfect crispy bacon without all the mess?  Baking in the oven is the simplest, most foolproof way to cook it.
Here is how we can have the best of both worlds : hands free, hassle free method for cooking perfect crispy bacon ....... and it's all in the oven.

Certainly the PERFECT way to cook bacon!

Ingredients:

  • 500g Bacon
Equipment:

  • Aluminium foul
  • Baking pan/sheet
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels
Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degree C.  Place a rack in the lower third of the oven.
  2. Line a baking pan with foil ( this makes clean-up easier ).  
  3. Lay the bacon on the baking pan in a single layer.  The bacon can be close together but don't overlap or the bacon will stick during baking.  If need, use a second baking pan.
  4. Place the baking pan of bacon in the oven and bake until the bacon is deep golden-brown and crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes  depending on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it.  
  5. Begin checking around 12 minutes to monitor how quickly the bacon is baking.  Pour off the bacon grease as needed so the bacon isn't totally submerged in the oil.
  6. Remove the bacon from the oven and use tongs to transfer it to a paper-lined plate to drain and finish crisping.  
  7. Serve immediately.  
Note:

  • Leftover bacon can be refrigerate for a week or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Warm the bacon in the microwave before serving.
  • For even crispier bacon, put a metal cooling rack over the foil-lined baking pan and lay the uncooked bacon over the cooling rack.  This will allow the bacon to cook from all sides and become extra crispy.

Line a baking pan with foil and lay the bacon in a single layer without touching.


Oven cooked bacon always make Perfect Crispy Bacon ........  every time.  
  

This spatter-free technique puts the "bake" back in  bacon.  Bacon cooked in the oven definitely gets crispy.


AS ALWAYS ENJOY!
