Ever wanted to make a large batch of crispy bacon strips efficiently? I know I have! Stovetop works well if you want to make just a few strips, but I'm not really a fan of stovetop when I need to make a larger batch. Maybe it's just the lazy in me. Who knows? All I know is, if you bake your bacon strips in the oven, you can get ultra crispy bacon with much less effort, and that's a win in my book! I like to go with a low temperature and let most of the fat render. (Save your bacon grease!) However, you could also go with a higher temperature, which allows the bacon to crisp up more quickly. The important thing with baking bacon is to make sure the bacon isn't swimming around in it's own grease. I used a perforated tray - not sure what it's designed for, but I know it works well for making bacon! Another option is a cooling rack, roasting rack, or even some folded aluminum foil.

How do you usually make bacon?

  1. Great Idea! That's your broiler pan. It's made to catch drippings of fat rendered off of meat when cooked at high temperature. Thanks for sharing on Show Me Your Plaid Monday's!

  2. It sure is a nice and easy way to make lots of bacon quickly. :)

    (PS - are you sure it's a broiler pan? I don't think it would catch much grease since the bottom is full of holes. I just stacked it on top of a baking tray, and it worked pretty well.) :)

    Thanks for stopping by!
