Do I have to flip bacon cooked in the oven?

The great thing about using the wire baking rack on a rimmed baking sheet is that heat circulates all around the bacon, so you NEVER have to flip it over. But if you use a broiler pan, flip it after 10 minutes of cooking.

How do you make bacon in the oven without a wire rack?

No worries! You can still cook bacon in ovens without a wire rack! Simply lay your bacon right on the foil and bake. You can also use parchment paper to prevent the bacon from sticking to the pan.

How do I store cooked leftover bacon?

Store leftover crispy bacon slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

Is it better to cook bacon in the oven on foil or parchment paper?

Both work! Whether you use a wire rack or bake the bacon directly on the lined pan, you can use whichever you have on hand. I find foil easier to drain the bacon grease off of after cooking.

Ingredients

Bacon (340g)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire cooling rack on the cooking sheet.
If you do not have a cooking rack to place on a baking sheet, use your broiler pan.
Line the inside bottom of the broiler pan with foil before fitting the top on the pan. The bacon fat will drip inside.
Lay out your bacon slices in a single layer, and arrange the bacon in a single row.
Roast the bacon for 15-20 minutes. This is approximate based on how crispy you like your bacon, your oven, and how thick your bacon is cut. I like my bacon extra crispy, so I usually roast for 20 minutes. You can start checking the bacon at 15 minutes.

Notes

If you like your bacon less crispy, or are doing this for the first time and don’t want to mess it up, set the timer for 10 minutes and check the bacon. Add more time if necessary.
