Getting Started
- Always line your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for non-stick cooking and easy cleanup. This also prevents any potential cross-contamination with gluten if using a shared pan.
- For crisp bacon, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness. Thicker cuts may require 25-30 minutes. Start with a cold oven for more even rendering.
- Drain excess fat halfway through baking if you prefer a less greasy result. Carefully blot with paper towels or transfer bacon to a fresh sheet if desired.
- Consider the bacon type: thick-cut bacon yields chewier results, while thin-cut gets crispier faster. Adjust baking times accordingly for your desired texture.
