Makin' Bacon
The oven baking method was chosen due to a) splatteriness of pan-frying and b) additional metals &c added by pan-frying. Microwave just seems wrong.
Oven method 1
- Wire racks on tinfoil-covered cookie sheet
- 10 strips bacon
- 350°F, not preheated
- Results:
- 20min: ends crispy and curled, middles less crispy (fat pooling)
- 25min: ends crispier, still chewy
Oven method 2
Temp/time recommended by the packaging:
- Same as before, but 375°F, preheated
- Results:
- 12min: chewy bacon, edges not crispy
Gathering drippings
Any method seems to work. Typical yield: 1fl. oz. for 1/2lb bacon.
