Baking Bacon

This is silly fun, but I have to share this technique of cooking bacon that we routinely use.

Ingredients:

Bacon

Instructions:

1) Line a cooking tray that has elevated sides (at least an inch) with aluminum foil.
2) Lay out the bacon one strip at a time in whichever direction maximizes the number of strips you can place
3) Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F, place tray in the oven for 20 minutes when ready
4) Remove tray, transfer strips to a paper towel lined container
5) Eat the bacon...or put it in the fridge for later
6) Carefully shape the end of the aluminum foil in the pan to form a spout, then gently pick up the foil from the sides and back to pour any grease into a container.
7) Use the grease to sear or mix with scrambled eggs to get more fat in your diet

I don’t know why, but since we discovered this method we eat a lot more bacon.  It comes out so delicious and evenly cooked, and we get the added bonus of more bacon fat to use in other meals.  Unfortunately, most bacon is packed with chemicals and sugar, so shop around if you can to find one that is sugar and nitrate/nitrite free.
