Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Place strips of bacon in single layer on a cookie sheet with raised edges.
Cook bacon for about 10-12 minutes for cooked bacon or 18-20 minutes for crisp bacon. No turning necessary.
Drain on paper towels.
The beauty of this method is that it makes less mess, I can cook it all at once, I don't have to vigilantly watch the bacon cooking to make sure it doesn't burn, I don't end up reeking like bacon, and I never get burned when the oil "spits."
Try it next time you make bacon.

I SWEAR I could practically smell bacon while I was reading that!!
I love cooking it this way! I put foil on the pan so there is less clean up
Most ovens actually come with one of those two-sided pans with holes on the top to drain the grease too. I use that and do what Kelly does with the foil. I agree, making the bacon in the oven is a lot less messy. We've been thinking of having BLT's soon, reading about bacon makes me want them now. :)
Great tip! Maybe I'll actually start buying bacon now--we love the taste, but not the messy cooking.
This sounds great! Especially since I still smell like bacon from last night.
I will have to try the foil, too. Genius!
That's the only way I cook it. Here's a tip from Julie Ingraham... sprinkle brown sugar and fresh ground pepper on it.
I totally forgot about doing it this way...maybe I'll find an excuse to make bacon if you and the fam decide to come and visit me this time! :)
I will!
I'm totally going to try this!
