Bacon Like A Pro

I am going to let you in on a  little restaurant secret...
We never, ever, ever cook bacon on the stove top.  It is always cooked on a baking sheet ahead of time and reheated in the oven or on a griddle when you order it.  Let me show you how easy this is to do.

Start by placing your bacon close together, but not overlapping, on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper (this will make clean up easier).

Bake it on the lowest rack in your oven at 425' for anywhere from 10min-20min.  The time just varies depending on how thick your bacon is cut, how crispy you like your bacon and how true your oven temp really is.

When your bacon is nice and crisp, remove from oven and transfer to paper towles to drain excess fat.

TaDa, you have achieved that perfectly flat, evenly crispy bacon that you have always wondered how they do at restaurants.

Cooked bacon can be stored covered at room temp for at least a week!  Yep, cook your bacon in bulk and just reheat (in your microwave is okay) when you want a few slices for breakfast or a BLT.  This is also a great trick for your next brunch party. 

By the way, did I mention that you will never have to clean up bacon grease from your stove top again!
