How to Bake Bacon in the Oven

[@KzooBeerGirl]

The day I discovered that I could bake bacon in the oven is still one of my best kitchen days ever!

[@Robin33375]

Same here. Lol, what an amazing discovery! It's way better in the oven, plus it frees up a burner on the stovetop. It's a win win!

[@NoorJasmine]

Yup, it was a life-changer for me too. Do you save your bacon fat to use in other recipes? I just posted my video using bacon fat to cook popcorn instead of oil. It's so good and went really well with my "whiskey juice" lol 🥓🍿🥃 Maybe not the healthiest snack but very good for mental health, I would say lol 🤣

[@MegMilli813]

I am ASTOUNDED 😳. It’s delicious! Why am I just learning about this @ today years old!

[@judyt5542]

I’ve been cooking bacon like this since the ‘90’s because I don’t enjoy cleaning every horizontal surface in my kitchen.

[@Thestayathomechef]

Haha, Sounds like you know how to live (:

[@tylery2291]

Lmao!

[@thatguy6638]

You can always use a thing designed to catch the "spit" from bacon and sausages. However, I do agree with you that using the oven is easier.

[@tylery2291]

@@thatguy6638 I have 2 different types of splatter guards. One is metal and one is silicone. They both don't work very well. Have to pull it up to flip bacon or sausage and then grease gets everywhere. Oven is the way to go unless you don't care.

[@MegMilli813]

YOU LITERALLY JUST CHANGED MY LIFE. I have been on a keto lifestyle off and on for almost 2 years; since I don’t eat a lot of other meats I use bacon in a good portion of my meals. I am now sitting here stunned at how FANTASTIC my bacon looks and tasted with no hot oil pop burns. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! Perfection

[@HealthWealthRelationships700]

02:18 George Castanza could tell you all about that.

[@dontbesnitchin]

You are slow

[@MrTyjnash]

Nice video! I’m no expert on the matter but I find that wrapping my baking sheet in foil then laying parchment helps make cleanup easier and keeps oven splatter down. On the two side pieces, I create waves in them in order to avoid the overlap. … just a couple things that work for me.

[@mrhalfstep]

Snip a small rectangle of parchment paper and place it between those two overlapped strips and they won't stick together.

[@joanvandeelen5218]

I learned a hack for helping it not to curl, by starting the bacon in a cold oven. Works every time!

[@nicksewell6642]

You can also just snip it at a few locations. It won't do it either.

[@alexseekingtheKingdom]

Does anyone else watch this video every time they cook bacon? 😂

Yes!! I can never remember the temperature or time!😅

No, why it's not hard to remember lol

[@martaaltheide5146]

OK just cooked half in oven and half on griddle. Test tested- my husband prefers oven, and so do I! Thank you so much! Oh, used parchment sheet and cleanup was EASY!

[@InfestedChris]

Guys, don't use pizza disc pan or any other pan for bacon in the oven. The grease will drip off the sheet into the oven and cause a lot a smoke. Make sure the baking pan got edges like the one in the video.

[@Azulanosekai101]

Literally thank you. I wouldve probably set off my smoke detector if not for you

[@pinata985]

DANG THATS ALL I GOT RIGHT NOW

[@InfestedChris]

@@pinata985 use tin foil and make a barrier around the pizza pan so the grease stays on the foil.

[@crazymode341]

@@InfestedChrisBro you got all the hacks.

[@nathaliebatiste9521]

@@InfestedChrisI still would not use a pizza pan. The foil, paper can rip.

[@jimmyjimmy7240]

If you don't want to buy the grate but still get ride of MOST, not all, of the grease, just roll the bacon into spirals and place them on their sides. The edges will still be in grease, but the majority of the bacon will be propped up. Thanks for the video!

[@erinmyers37]

If you don't have a grate or don't want to buy one you u can also use tin foil and folded it like a paper fan or accordion then stretch it out a little bit so that you can lay the bacon over the top and in the ditches of the tin foil (paper) fan will catch the grease

[@antoinetteharris7239]

BACON - the food of the Gods. Thanks for your clear, streamlined videos. Really love them.

[@mariannesouza8326]

If using the wire rack, put whatever bacon doesn’t fit ON the rack UNDER the rack. 🥓 For those 2 side pieces, no need to overlap - just fold back one end of one of them.

[@TABL3SIX]

I've always made it in a pan, but this way saves time. I cooked a whole pound at once. Made some incredible BLTs. Yummy. Thanks for your help, love the videos.

[@brak1296]

Baked bacon is superior for sandwiches and burgers imo. When I don't bake them, they tend to pull our when you try to take a bite.

[@Bigmist8k]

I make my bacon in the oven as well but I sprinkle a little brown sugar on them before cooking them. They are DELICIOUS!

[@Thestayathomechef]

That does sound good (:

[@msdonna7963]

I tried it :-) Thank you. Cooking bacon in the oven on parchment paper with them TOUCHING is perfect! No curling and they are crispy.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

like they say, devil in the details !

[@terrymyers699]

This is how I baked bacon on my ship when I was a Navy cook. 75 lbs every morning for 2200 sailors and Marines when out at sea.

[@nelsonmorrison-aldrich8924]

I used the oven..at 375°.. nice and flat..did not want overly crispy as it was for BLT sandwiches..came out good but had smoky kitchen. Thank you.

[@DanWebster]

My grandma cooked on a wood stove. She did her bacon in the same pan she made her cornbread in. She did not use a wire rack or parchment paper, all of the drippings went into the cornbread along with fresh ground corn meal fresh farm eggs and some clabbered up cows milk she kept in a wood bowl on the table.

You are welcome!

[@ausfan100]

I tried both methods today with all the family here for Mothers Day. We all agreed the wire rack method gave a better result with a good measure of crispness and a little more flavor in the meat. The first test on the baking paper I would not do again - it resulted in the bacon getting a noticeable fatty taste, not surprising seeing as it was frying in a sea of fat in the tray. Thanks muchly for the video.

[@mikebrock1965]

This worked perfectly. No more greasy stove top.

[@Thestayathomechef]

Glad it helped

[@DkeithR55]

I've got to fry a few pounds for church supper tomorrow night. Just wanted to know how others baked, and your video was helpful, since you compared two methods! I'm going to use parchment paper now instead of a rack, and I also noticed I should be barefooted! Thank you for a short, informative clip!

[@jokers4poker]

The best way to cook your bacon hands down. 👍 We dredge our bacon in flour and then bake it on the rack so good. Absolutely enjoy your vlogs!!!!🤩👍

[@sunshinejanice30]

Never heard of this method Will try, thanks. May I ask what the flour does?

[@jamesgoacher1606]

Interesting, why?

[@jokers4poker]

@@sunshinejanice30 it helps hold some of the fat while it bakes but adds flavor to the bacon overall.

[@cherylchengsheng9330]

Does flour reduce oil from splatting in the oven? Will definitely try your method.

[@johngates450]

I've heard of making bacon in the oven before.. With your know how I'll try this tomorrow morning! Great Video and Thx again .

[@4it4k]

I just made it the parchment paper way. That was the crispiest bacon I've ever had! Never going back to frying.

[@Thestayathomechef]

Happy you gave it a try (:

[@t4705mb6]

This is how we always did it at the 5 star country clubs I used to manage. (Although it does make a mess out of your oven.)

[@charsontop]

Woad this hack for Mother's day for me.

[@socalsal627]

My husband's on Keto so he prefers frying them so he can save all the healthy bacon grease (yes, much healthier than vegetable or corn oil!). However I really love this method when I want to make crunchy bacon bits for recipes, salads, etc for the rest of the family! So easy without all the spattery mess my husband makes!

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Years ago we were told to FULLY cook any pork. But, since pork production has improved, I heard it's not as important to cook to a burnt mess. lol. SO, thank you for the parchment paper method, and I will use. I like fully cooked, but floppy bacon. I WISH we got mostly one pound packages, but my fave's are in 12 oz, cost the same. I'm still trying to find the best bacon for the buck. I needed this tutorial and you had wonderful reviews and a huge following !! So I subscribed ! YAY. Ok, I'm off to cook and eat some bacon ! 🥓🥓🥓

[@dukejohnson6025]

Thanks, now I can show my dad how to cook it. He always cook it, we're it comes out hard.

[@JAVACAT1999]

Hey, just a friendly tip if you want to keep your oven clean. Your bacon will cook exactly the same if you place another sheet of parchment paper over the bacon. Thanks! ☺️

[@cajunlane3191]

To not have the two overlapping, cut off the ends that have no meat on them. That way they shouldn't have to overlap. Love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@sweetestkail8644]

[@bethanywarner5989]

Thank you for doing a comparison!! I've been doing the wire rack method but it never gets as crispy as I like, now I know to try the parchment paper method!

[@chipgriffiths3655]

And the cleaning of the wire rack is worse that cleaning a cast iron pan!

[@kathystammen8774]

So this did work but if you’re using thick sliced bacon it takes 40 minutes for it to get really crispy. I was happy with it!

[@Rahsaun77]

I’ve been making bacon in my toaster oven for almost 10 years. superior to pan fried, less cleanup, straight pieces (no curling) and no grease popping across the kitchen.

[@Thedreamer20015]

Thank you! This is awesome for when I need to cook bacon for more than one person, I don’t mind pan frying for 1 but if I have more than 1 it’s just too much of a mess.

I have started cooking like this recently. The one addition is another tray on top of the bacon to keep it flat and straight …cooks within 15/20 mins.

[@grampabadger]

Sam's Club sells bacon by the 10 pound box. It is divided into 4 packages complete with parchment paper, so it lends itself well to using this method to cook it. The US Army has been doing it this way for many years and they save the drippings for flavoring as well as cooking other dishes. After all, there will be several more gallons of grease with breakfast tomorrow, so it doesn't require refirgeration. They just discard it when the next batch of bacon is cooked.
