Baking Bacon

Bacon on racks before baking

One of the low carb cookbooks I have suggests cooking bacon in the oven to prevent messy splatters from pan frying. I eat a lot of bacon and I absolutely hate the mess that results from frying it in a pan. Also, I end up spending a long time standing at the cooktop because the whole package of bacon never fits in one pan. Last week I cooked my bacon for the first time in the oven. It was so simple without a big mess that I will never go back to frying bacon in a pan ever again. The best part is that a whole package of bacon can be cooked at once without standing over a cooktop with the exhaust fan going. Just put it in the oven and wait for the timer to beep. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
