You came across well with your cooking bacon presentation. What would be your thoughts if the bacon strips were instead placed in a suspended vertical position? There is a new cooking method called “Baconness Bonanza” that just covers this. Would you consider giving it a try? They claim no more flipping the bacon strips during the entire cooking process in the oven and no more using paper towels to soak up the bacon grease anymore. Just Bake it and Forget it! There is a video on KZbin about this method for you to check out.
