Perfect Oven Bacon

By pknaub

Ingredients

• What you will need:
• Shallow baking sheet
• Foil (heavy-duty preferable)
• Metal Cooling Rack (optional)
• Non-stick cooking spray (optional)
• Paper towels

Preparation

Step 1

Here are some tips:
•The oven should be cold when you put the bacon in – do not preheat.
•Make sure you are watching the bacon closely during the last few minutes of baking to ensure that the bacon doesn’t burn.
•Remove the bacon from the rack or baking sheet right after removing from oven. The bacon will continue cooking as long as it is left in the pan or bacon fat.
•It is easy to flavor up the bacon. Try black pepper or brown sugar sprinkled on the top before baking – it will give your bacon a whole new flavor.
•Want to freeze your bacon? Under-cook your bacon by a couple of minutes , let it cool and then place it in Ziploc bag. To reheat, pull out a couple of slices and cook in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds.
