How long to cook bacon in the oven?

Bake in the oven at 210°C or 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Watch the oven from about 12 minutes to make sure the bacon doesn’t burn.

If you want even crispy bacon, Place a metal cooling rack over the foil lined pan and lay the raw bacon on it. This will allow the bacon to cook on all sides.

Step 3

After baking, take it out of the oven, put it on kitchen paper and let it absorb excess oil to complete it.

Step 4

The bacon oil left in the iron plate will be a secret ingredient that gives off a delicious and rich flavor when used in cooking.

Tips and points

It is best to have the iron plate slightly deeper than a flat one, as oil can be released.

Oil can be very hot. Take care not to burn your skin when removing the iron plate.

Depending on the thickness of bacon, cooking times may vary.

A rack is not necessary, and it is entirely up to you. The rack allows for better air circulation, making crispy bacon easier. However, you can also put your bacon in the pan directly. For easy cleanup, line the pan with foil or parchment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need to Flip the Bacon?

You don’t need to flip bacon unless it is thick-cut. The oven’s even heat distribution is a benefit, as it cooks the bacon evenly without having to flip.

How to Make it Extra Crispy?

The most common cause of rubbery bacon is excessive heat. This means the fat doesn’t render properly before it is cooked, resulting in a chewy texture.

To get crispy bacon, heat slowly. This means you should heat the bacon slowly in a warming or cool oven rather than in a preheated oven. You should also ensure that the bacon is in one layer. Too much of it will result in less crispy bacon.

What to Do With the Bacon Grease?

Don’t toss the fat! Bacon grease can be used to replace butter or oil. To give potatoes a little extra flavor, I add a tablespoon to them before they are roasted. It can also be used to make lip balms, candles, and other DIY creations.

You can simply pour the grease into a mason container, cover it and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three months.
