Baked bacon is the easiest way to get crispy slices without stovetop splatter. Skip the skillet and bake it instead for golden-brown slices.

Perfect Bacon In The Oven (Crispy, No Splatter, Easy Cleanup)

bacon

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.  Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, lettingit hang over the edges, and press it into the corners so it forms a shallow &quot;tray&quot; to catch the grease.

Lay the bacon in a single layer.  Slices can touch, but do not overlap or they will stick together.

Bake 12 to 18 minutes, depending on thickness and how crisp you like it.  At about the halfway mark, use tongs to flip the bacon over for more even browning.  Start checking at 12 minutes and keep a close eye near the end.Regular bacon is usually done around 12 to 15 minutes.Thick-cut bacon is usually done around 15 to 18 minutes.

Quick Note: I like to flip my bacon halfway through baking to get both sides evenly crisp.

Use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Let it sit 1 to 2 minutes to drain and crisp up, then serve.

Let the pan and grease cool completely.  Carefully fold the foil edges inward to contain the grease and discard, or pour the cooled grease into a heat-safe container before tossing the foil.

Clean up

For 12 ounces of bacon, a good rule is:4 servings if people want 3 slices each6 servings if people want 2 slices eachMost 12-ounce packs are around 10 to 14 slices, so &quot;Serves 4 to 6&quot; is the right call. If it&#39;s the main event (big breakfast), call it 4: if it&#39;s alongside eggs, pancakes or in a sandwich, call it 6.
