Here are several reasons you should cook bacon in the oven.
It’s easy, You lay the bacon on a baking sheet and it’s pretty much hands off. You only need to watch it at the end of it’s cooking time. You don’t really need to turn over the bacon at all.
The bacon turns out flat and crispy as it cooks in its own grease.
The bacon is evenly cooked. No more raw areas and over cooked areas.
The best reason is there is no greasy mess, which I will show you how to avoid the mess below.
Here are the tools you need to cook bacon in the oven.
Rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil
Parchment paper to cover the bacon on the sheet
Tongs
You do not need to preheat the oven.
Place the bacon slices in a single layer on top of the foil lined pan. Try not to have the bacon slices touch each other as they will stick together.
Place a piece of parchment paper over the top of the bacon. This will stop any grease splatter that will try to occur and you will have no mess.
Place the pan in the oven at 350 degrees F. Sometimes I play with the temperature, especially when you are first trying this out. I will start at 350 degrees F. and maybe raise the temperature to 375 degrees F. if cooking is progressing slowly. Remember, oven temperatures vary.
How long to cook the bacon, you ask? That will partly depend on how thick your bacon is. The bacon I used in this video was on the thicker side. I checked it at 15 minutes and found that it ended up needing another 15 minutes of cooking time.
I’ve cooked thin bacon with this method and it took 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. Just play with it.
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the oven carefully. Remember that you have a baking sheet full of hot grease. Keep it level.
Remove the parchment paper with tongs. It will be full of dripping grease so carefully deposit it in the garbage. Using tongs place the bacon slices onto a paper towel covered plate to drain. Pat with more paper towels if needed.
Enjoy your evenly cooked, flat crispy bacon with eggs, pancakes, burgers sandwiches, etc.
You will especially enjoy the easy clean up. Just let the baking pan cool until the bacon grease solidifies and roll up the foil and place it in the garbage can. The baking sheet will likely still be greasy but nothing compared to not having that foil in place. Give it a light wash and call it a day!

If you want to cook bacon for one or maybe 2 people, you may want to just cook it in a pan on the stove. Check out my tips for how to cook the best bacon in a pan here: czcams.com/video/89KXnvSSN6Q/video.html
No, that would not work in my kitchen. My fry pan is an uncovered black iron skillet. It leaves plenty of grease splatter even on low burner settings. And only 2 slices of thick bacon at a time, but 2 of us in the household.
Bacon grease always goes in a container and stored in the fridge. I never waste it. Wonderful seasoning.
Incredible when cooking kale or cabbage.
In fact, there are specific containers for that purpose... stainless steel, with screens!
Yes, she threw the best part in the trash.
Agree 100%
How long can you keep bacon grease in the fridge
In the South it's a sin to throw away good bacon grease! 😉 😂 Hugs from Georgia! 🍑🤗❤
Hahaha, sometimes I throw caution to the wind and use a little! Here is a recipe where I used a little! My Ultimate breakfast skillet czcams.com/video/YhB2aMPeqhI/video.html So good! Maybe it's the bacon grease! 😊
My Grandma always saved her bacon grease, now I’m doing it! Greetings from TEXAS‼️
I’m
Mexican and I save that fat too ❤️❤️👍🏼
I never keep mine but I do love some homemade gravy with it if I have flour 😋
What do u make with bacon grease?
I tried this for the first time a few days ago. Came out great. No splatter or greasy stove. Didn't have to worry about turning over the bacon or standing over the stove. Lady you have the right name because you definitely ROCK!!!
Hello! I also just found this video-2 years after it appeared! What a GREAT tip! I eat bacon almost every day on the ketogenic way of eating, and was tired of the mess it made. I can’t wait to try this-AND-what a great way to keep the bacon grease for cooking.
Thank you! So glad I found you.
I got this video from ur pan video,u commented it😂
I am a southerner. We just don’t throw away bacon grease. It is so full of flavor and makes everything you cook in it taste so much better. I know it’s not great for your heart or your arteries so don’t do it that often but you don’t eat chocolate cake that often either do you? Anytime you cook greens, add a tablespoon of bacon grease. Bacon is the most flavorful of all the meats. Don’t throw any of it away- like someone else said, the grease is liquid gold. I have been using a rack and it is a pain to clean. I’m going to try not using a rack, but I’m not going to add any parchment paper either. Get a widemouth pint canning jar to store it in the refrigerator.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you
Thank you! Finally got a way to cook bacon without splatter in my oven!
Enjoyed the session.
Thank you for the parchment paper tip!
You are welcome! I love it!
Thank you for so many helpful hints that will insure good, crisp bacon without a huge mess!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
I have been cooking bacon in the oven, for quite awhile, but never thought about the parchment paper. Great tip, thanks.
You are so welcome!
I've been baking with her for a long time
I didn't even think to cook bacon in the oven! Thank you, now I"ll be making it more often now.
Thanks so much, I love thick bacon slices!
I lay slices of old bread in the grease and give the garden birds a treat!
@debbiesmith1517. That is a great idea. Thank you. I sometimes have leftover oil in the skillet that I have been wiping out with paper towels. No more. From now on I’m going to save scraps of bread and use those to wipe out the skillet or the cast-iron pan and then toss them out in the yard for the birds. Except in my case, I’d better put them where the squirrels and raccoons can’t get to them.
I have been cooking my bacon in the oven for years but I don't know why I didn't think of the parchment paper on top! Thanks for all the extra tips you give along with your recipes. Plus thank you for the jokes
You are so welcome! I'm glad you are enjoying the recipes Barbara. And the jokes too! 🙂
Excellent recipe! Jokes are fire!
Funny video. The recipe is great!

Excellent!!
Your video is the greatest. Best way to cook bacon. Going to try it first thing in the morning.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope your bacon turns out delicious!
This Was really helpful thank you👍
Thanks for letting me know!
The parchment paper really helps to contain the mess. I really like this technique.
It works great! Glad you like it!
Thank you so much. I've been chasing crispy bacon for years.

Great Idea!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have never tried cooking bacon in the oven. This looks amazing and the bacon didn’t curl up! Thank you so much for this information!
You are so welcome!
Never thought about letting the hot grease congeal before rolling up the foil for disposal...appreciate that tip so much! And, yes, bacon cooked this way is very crisp and flavorful. Thanks SO much for this and all your great recipes and cooking methods and tips!
Glad it was helpful! Here is a link to a delicious recipe that calls for bacon. It's called French toast sandwich with avocado and bacon. I think you will love it! czcams.com/video/dUSQdib0Ggo/video.html
This worked perfectly. I am so pleased to find your method.
Forgot the turning-over part but it was fine.
Used a 1" plus rimmed baking pan with parchment paper under and over, and saved the beautiful bacon fat as drippings to use later.
Many, many thanks ❤💕
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you found my method helpful and that it turned out perfectly for you.
OMG! This worked so well! The parchment paper made it absolutely no mess and kept the slices flat...perfect for the BLTs I made for my family tonight. THANK YOU! New subscriber from Texas 👍🏻🤠
Glad it helped! Did you happen to see my latest video on BLT’s? Check it out: czcams.com/video/B5qIwzkz9Ck/video.htmlsi=4A0leQQHvJiA5pNn
@@RockinRobinCooks I DID see it...after we ate. But I'm definitely going to try your version next. Your substitute for mayo looks really good.
Thank you very kindly! 😀❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you Robin!
You are welcome Nida!
Air frying works too😋 Thanks for the vid Robin👍
I bet it does! I don't have one yet!
God bless Robin! Love the video.
Thank you so much!
@@RockinRobinCooks I'm actually just about to bake some bacon!
I have cooked bacon in the oven couple of times and didn't care for the grease being all over the oven. I did use parchment paper on top of sheet pan, never thought about doing it this way. I definitely will try this in the morning. And thank you for making this video it truly is a big help.
I’m glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching!
👍 Hi Robin. I realize this video is over 2 years old, but I just discovered it last week and I can't thank you enough!
I've loved bacon all my life but the only cooking method I knew was the frying pan on the stove. As a result, I very seldom cooked bacon because I dreaded that horrible cleanup, not to mention the burns on my hands from grease splatter: It happened at least once per session no matter how careful I was.
I never liked the taste of microwaved bacon, and a few other methods I found on CZcams just
didn't seem believable. I wondered if cooking bacon in the oven wouldn't just splatter up my oven and
oven door?
For my research I watched your video and around 6 others.Yours was the ONLY ONE that mentioned to cover the bacon with parchment paper.
I tried your method for Easter Breakfast last week. It was fantastic. I'll never fry bacon again! And letting the fat cool on the paper before clearing it away was another great tip. Thank You/Merci/Muchas Gracias!
Hi Janice! So glad my method worked out for you!
Thanks for the recipe.
My wife has had some health problems and I had to retire to take care of her. Which means after 46 years in the welding trade, I am now the cook in the house. Tried several different methods of cooking cornbread and happened upon yours.
This recipe is...........PERFECT!!!!!!
It tastes great and does not stick to the bottom of my iron skillet.
At the end of your video, you mixed it with pinto beans. Try this one, take a large single portion bowl, add some large butterbeans (no juice), then some fried potatoes cooked with onions, then crumble up some of that delicious cornbread. Now, add some more butterbeans (with juice) and stir to get everything wet with the butterbean juice and enjoy.
Thanks again, for sharing your recipe!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed my video! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Great Video! No more mess! YAY! I've done this, but double lined pan with parchment paper on the bottom to protect pan & without parchment paper on top & works the same. Perfect Crunchy Bacon!🥓🥓🥓
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for letting me know.
@@RockinRobinCooks After I made the comment I was thinking about Bacon & realized we didn't have any, texted my wife & asked her if she could pick up a pack with 1/2 salt. She thankfully did & I made the whole pack, ate some & the rest the next day. Your recipe is a staple now. Thank you!
Great ideal to use parchment paper to cover the bacon to prevent splatters. I did not like cleaning the oven each time when cooking bacon.
Glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you
Nice. The p. paper on top, wow.
I do this sometimes, but not do I find cooking bacon on the stove top, I have some of the most beautifully seasoned cast iron skillet you can imagine. Here in the South, bacon grease is considered to be liquid gold and is to be kept for other cooking tasks.
Super idea I also sausages links or patties..
Hey! Great tip! Quick question - do you *have* to turn the bacon pieces? Or is it ok not to? Thanks.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I've tried soooo many recipes posted on youtube and this is the first that delivered just as promised. I cook several packages of bacon at a time and freeze them so they're ready to eat and this is a huge mess-saver and time saver. Because I cook multiple batches I just replace the parchment about every other batch to avoid overly browned stuff sticking to the bacon. I also use a piece of foil that covers the entire pan and overlaps the sides to contain the grease. That seems to work well. (Do you know how to make yorkshire pudding?? I need a recipe!)😄
Thanks for sharing! Sorry I don’t have a recipe for the pudding at the moment.
I love keeping my bacon grease for future dishes.. However shes right this eld be the best way for multiple people! 👊
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Rockin Robin!!! Your bacon a cake joke had me laughing the rest of your tutorial just cuz it’s so cheesy it’s hilarious!!! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nothing like good prepared bacon. The greasy mess isn't good though. Thanks for sharing this. Very helpful. The jokes were funny! Cheers, Robin!
Hi Dwayne, the greasy mess is a pain but the clean up on this wasn't bad at all. Thanks for watching my video and commenting!
Great tip, thanks. These days I like to use the teflon coated cooking liners instead of parchment or baking paper. They go thru the dishwasher at the top of the upper rack and I’ve been using the same two sheets for nearly ten years now, so much more economical over a long time than buying parchment.
I am not familiar with the teflon coated cooking liners. The only problem I would have with that is the possibility of the teflon getting into your food. Are they the same as the silicon liners?
@@RockinRobinCooks similar, but the teflon ones tend to be much lighter and thinner than the silicone coated mats. Teflon is good to 500F and won’t leach into food. I’ve found them to be a real benefit to my cooking - only drawback is they sometimes need more than one trip thru the dishwasher if heavily greased, but I suppose I could hand wash them. Not much wrong with your solution of parchment paper either, just mentioning there’s an alternative 👍
Love this parchment 💡 idea! Thank you!
So glad! You can also use the bacon you cook to make another of my recipes called french toast sandwich. It's so good! Check it out: czcams.com/video/dUSQdib0Ggo/video.html
You are magnificent!! Thank you for these tips ❤ and the corny joke!
Wonderful ! Love this and yes the grease splatter was the reason why I stopped doing it in the oven. Thank you Robin 😊 Lol at the joke
Hi Angie, try the parchment paper. You’ll love it. Thanks for stopping in!
Use a lower temperature. I don’t have a problem with grease splatter and I’ve been cooking bacon in the oven for years.
BTW the pan is called a jelly roll pan.
Good idea putting parchment paper on top
What temp do you send set the oven on degrees
What yummy bacon, Robin.
Did you cut the bit out when you went to walk the dogs? Would have loved to have seen them on the video🐾🐾
Love this! Can I make multiple trays at one time?
Yes but you would probably want to rotate them as they cook because it is hotter on the bottom rack.
Worked great. Never using a pan again!
Yes I do the same way
Awesome Sarjeet!
I just ordered two Nordic Ware half-sheet baking pans and two stainless steel cooking/cooling racks (with the multi grates like yours) from Amazon. One of the uses for the sheet pans and racks was to start cooking bacon in the oven. I'm glad I watched your video before making that mistake lol! I do have a question for you, Robin...Can silicone mats be used on the bottom of the pan instead of the aluminum foil? I've been a subscriber to your channel for also a year now and love you and your content. Thank you for your time and effort. Please keep it coming!😄❤
Your's is a good question. I have not tried using the silicone mats but I think they would work. The clean up won't be as easy as with foil tho, where you can let the grease firm up, roll it up and toss it in the garbage. Let me know how it works if you try it. I'd love to hear! Glad you are enjoying the content!
@@RockinRobinCooks That makes sense. The clean up will be easier with foil. I'll be sure to let you know if I try it with the silicone mats.
I have never had splatter in my oven and I have never covered the bacon with parchment paper. I wonder if it has to do with oven cooking temperature???
What do you do with your cooking grease, Robin?
Do you add it to other meals, if so what do you suggest?
I throw it out because I don't think it's that healthy. A lot of people keep it and reuse it.
I got lucky as my rack wasn't the mesh / grid style, plus it was coated an no stickage issue 👍
Bacon doesn't splatter inside an oven, in my experience.
I just cook mine in a non-stick frying pan on low heat...no fuss...no mess.
Then I pour off the excess grease add flour and make gravy in the same pan.
Its not a big deal
I'm going to use that Bacon joke for my granddaughters, birthday nice
I have just started to cook bacon in my oven and I just cleaned it so I was making sure I cook it at the right temp and everything…
Damn I just went out and bought some bacon for myself but I don’t have parchment and I don’t have a pan with a lip. Well back to the cast iron I go. Son of a bee hive! I was looking forward to avoiding the cleanup.
They make wider foil.... all that grease will go underneath what's on the tray. In fact I use the foil coated with teflon so that nothing sticks.
I would recommend using a larger (wider) sheet of foil. If you have the wider foil, it reaches the top of the lip on all four sides of your half-sheet pan, so you've contained all the bacon grease. This will allow you to either 1) save the bacon grease (in a glass jar); or 2) let it cool and then slowly remove the foil from the edges towards the center, capturing the grease towards the center and then put the foil in an old plastic vegetable bag (or Ziploc). Your pan is still clean, and grease free (since you've balled up the grease for easy disposal).
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
@@RockinRobinCooks If you are saving the oil, you can mold a tiny "spout" in one corner of the foil lining before you cook, that will also help pour the oil into a safe (glass) container when it's still warm.
I flip once in the frying pan. Not hands off if you have to pull it to look or flip.
Best thing to do is not use a frying rack, but once your done cooking the bacon, use the grease to fry some eggs
Its not as messy as people makes it out to be, never messy when i make it anyways. I do like that in oven cooks the bacon more evenly than when you cook in a pan. Longer yes but always comes out well. Though not all bacon products cook the same so got watch them.
How do you cook it so its not as messy ? Thank you for any information you can give us on this. God Bless us all Amen
I have a nuwave oven to cook bacon, works great.
Took your recommendation on " Heartland " on season 5 thanks!
That's great Winkie Man. I am not familiar with the nuwave oven. I love #heartland it is the best! I couldn't stop watching it. Glad you are enjoying it!
I have a question-do you have a recipe for sprouted wheat pudding? May Blessing and good health to go your way.
Baconing a cake for your birthday 🎂 🤣🤣🤣
Save that bacon grease for frying.
I do sometimes.
Alternatively instead of laying flat, crinkle it by pinching at intervals. It provides a pleasing esthetic dimension at the time of plating ….if you’re into that sorta thing. I am 😅
Nice idea! Thanks for sharing!
Finally...THE Definitive video on cooking bacon in the oven! I like how you always "keep it real," telling the TRUTH about things. I've seen videos with internet and tv cooks talking about doing bacon in the oven for years--but they don't tell you the reality. I had no idea it leaves your oven filthy (which I always suspected)! Love your giving us the scoop and addressing the details as you always do. That said, I don't have much use for the oven method because honestly I really only use bacon for my salads. I chop it into bite-size pieces and then fry in a pan on the stovetop...By the way, I miss your cute little music intros with your younger self and family restaurant photos. (I get that you've probably decided to do the jokes instead.) Finally, I bet if you used at least a double layer of foil you could avoid any greasy cleanup at all. :)
Thanks for your comment Tom! I don't know about the other cooks but I used to get grease splatter in my oven so I love the parchment paper. I still throw in the music intro with the family photos every once in a while! 🙂 I started doing the jokes because my dad would always tell me that I should tell you some jokes in my videos. He loved to tell jokes to customers in our restaurant and make people laugh. So the jokes are in his honor. I started doing them at the beginning of the pandemic just to bring a little smile to people peoples faces. Have a great day!
@@RockinRobinCooks That's so sweet, Robin. I love hearing familial tales, especially with regard to Mexican Restaurants. It's an affinity of mine since patronizing for years many of the nice Mexican Restaurants here around Phoenix and Arizona.
I love this woman. bacon a cake. chortle

It still platters and spits grease all over the inside of the oven and on the inside glass of the door.

Bacon grease is the best cooking oil you can use. Save it in a container and put it in your fridge. Don't throw it in the garbage (what are you thinking). Other than that major blunder, a good video.
How is that a "major" blunder!! Do you have ANY IDEA as to what goes to our dump sites?!
I do this but no parchment paper
Green beans from the garden - or a can is okay too, but nothing beats the taste of homegrown - small chunks of ham and bacon grease. Simmer slowly, let beans absorb ham juices and bacon fat, chow down.
👍
Thanks for the visit!
