Douglas Walker- It would be fine, just put it loose over the top, not tight.

Would it be bad to put a piece of tin foil above the bacon to prevent the grease from spitting all over my oven?

Re: “Method 3: Cooking Bacon in the Oven”

You say to lay the bacon right into the pan, and open the oven and remove the tray to drain if necessary. I think the easier way would be using a grate that sits in the pan and allows the bacon fat to drain right off the bacon. This way the cooking of the bacon happens uninterrupted and evenly.

Also, every time the oven door is opened, the temperature can drop by as much as 25 degrees. Causing the oven to reheat itself a little.

I needed to make bacon for a twice-baked potato recipe and was so happy to see that cooking it in the oven was an option! Thanks for saving me from splatter burns!

Don’t answer the phone (or door)
Never leave bacon on the stove unattended….

Great blog! I look through your recipes and just find my mouth watering and tummy growling. I think I could never go fully vegetarian if for nothing other than bacon. Thanks for the guide on microwaving, I’ve always heard about it but been too afraid to try it.

I am glad i found this site. It is very difficult to get crispy bacon at restaurants in Malaysia and I couldn’t make my bacon crispy with pan frying just as the ones I had in US restaurants. Thanks for the article, coz I will get to taste crispy bacon again.

MM Bacon. In the UK our main type of bacon is danish-style rashers, where rather than in strips, they are shaped like erm, a pork chop. Oh Iknow what it’s called Back Bacon. American style is more expensive called streaky bacon – or american crispy bacon, so our bacon is a little harder to get crispy

I’ve never thought to cook it in the oven! This will be fantastic since I HATE to cook bacon. I just made inside out burgers and actually surrendered to using packaged, pre-cooked bacon. That’s how badly I detest cooking it. But I can’t wait to try it in the oven. No more under/over cooked bacon, splattered grease burns, messy stove, etc. Oh and I had to laugh because I grew up using those plates. I love them!

My kids revere my cooking skills over my wife’s simply for one reason – what they call “Daddy’s slow bacon”. I use low-medium heat, don’t pre-heat the pan, and stir often during cooking to ensure all the “softness” is cooked out of it. The end result, once drained and dried, is a platter of evenly crispy bacon.
