Subj : 12/30 Nat Bacon Day - 2 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Tue Dec 28 2021 16:02:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Oven Bacon Categories: Five, Pork Yield: 1 Recipe 1 lb Thick-cut bacon * MMMMM-------------------------EQUIPMENT------------------------------ Large rimmed baking sheet Aluminum foil Baking rack (Opt: Cooking - the bacon on a rack makes - the bacon crisper, & lets - the grease drip off the - bacon as it cooks. ** Set your oven @ 400°F/205°C. You won't be broiling the bacon, so put your oven rack in the middle of your oven to distribute the heat evenly. Note: You can also start with a cold oven and let the bacon cook as the oven warms. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Make sure the foil extends up the sides of the pan so it captures all the bacon grease and clean-up is easier. Arrange bacon strips directly on the foil. It's okay if the bacon overlaps slightly, because it will shrink slightly as it bakes. OR place the bacon on a rack. Place the baking pan in the oven. Cook bacon for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how chewy or crispy you like your bacon. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined platter. The extra grease will be absorbed by the paper towels, and the bacon will crisp up a bit as it cools. You can then transfer it to a clean plate to serve. By Vanessa Greaves * This works with thin-sliced bacon as well but the timing is different - UDD ** If you go the rack route, you should still line your baking pan with foil to make clean-up easy. Save the tasty bacon fat for cooking all manner of other stuff. RECIPE FROM: http://allrecipes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
