Learn the Easiest and Hassle-Free Way of Cooking Bacon

 

Ingredients:

• Bacon strips (any quantity you prefer)

 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare a Baking Sheet

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

• Place a wire rack on top if you want crispier bacon (optional).

3. Arrange the Bacon

• Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the baking sheet or rack.

• Make sure the slices don’t overlap for even cooking.

4. Bake the Bacon

• Place the tray in the middle rack of the oven.

• Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on your desired crispness:

  • 15 minutes = soft and chewy

  • 20+ minutes = extra crispy

5. Drain and Serve

• Once done, use tongs to transfer bacon to a paper towel–lined plate.

• Let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Cleanup Tip:

• If you lined the pan with foil or parchment paper, simply discard the grease carefully after it cools.
