Oven-Baked Bacon *****

 

• 8 bacon slices

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil topped with parchment paper, then place the bacon side-by-side on the sheet.
• Cook bacon for 10 to 20 minutes or until it's reached desired level of crispiness. Begin checking on it after about 10 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and transfer bacon with tongs to drain on paper towels.
• If you're rendering the bacon fat, line a fine mesh sieve with a paper towel. Then place the sieve over a glass storage container and pour the bacon fat from the sheet tray into the sieve. Cover the glass storage container and place it in the refrigerator for future cooking needs.

Notes 

• Please note that all ovens cook slightly differently. It's best to keep an eye on the bacon past the 10-minute mark so you can ensure it's cooked to your personal preference. If you scroll through the comments you'll see some people have raw bacon at 15 minutes and some have burnt bacon at 15 minutes. After years of comments on this recipe, I've widened the cooking time to 10 to 20 minutes, as all ovens do bake differently.
