Before you open a pack of bacon, roll the pack up like a towel, it will easily separate without sticking and tearing.
Good to know.
Just tried that, it works.
Gonna definitely try that.
Now I need a BLT!
Perfect! Hopefully a nice homegrown heirloom tomato… Yummy
Ugh. I always comment useless knowledge and forget to thank the creator lol I appreciate you and Rocky. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate that!
Looks awesome, great for meal prep
Sure is!
Awesome video. Thanks for showing us how to do this. We are trying to eat at home now, because it is TOO EXPENSIVE to eat out anymore. We're not gonna pay $20+ / $25+ per person just to have a sit-down meal at a burger joint. Honestly, we don't eat anything fancy -- that's just fast food now, so cooking at home is 5 times (or more) cheaper.
Glad it was helpful! You will have some Awesome burgers (w/bacon) for a fraction of going to a fast food joint!
Ahh... a 30 word paragraph of information stretched into a 6 minute video ... I miss the days before selfies.
Thanks for watching.
If my bacon is crunchy, it's overcooked. Love my bacon chewy. I've never cooked bacon in the oven. I cook it LOW and SLOW in a fry pan. And I save the rendered fat for cooking other things!
You can try it I the oven as directed and just take it out for your level of 'chewiness' 😄 and the fat is nice & clean for other uses...Like my home fries!!!
@@OldSchoolCooks YUM!
Love doing it this way. But, have not done it starting cold. Looking forward to using this tip. Congratulations on the big hit! 🥂
Thanks!
I love cooking bacon this way!!❤
The best!
Imho, that whole food pyramid thing is upside down. I eat bacon every single day. Meat, bacon, butter, eggs = healthiest person I know staying away from all the ultra processed chemicals & stuff. Exactly how I make my bacon too... suuuuper crispy, yum! ENJOY! :)
Interesting!
mmanda, I agree. The current food pyramid is quite bizarre.
Have you tried the Black Label Pecanwood smoked Bacon ? I'm totally hooked on it. Sooooo Delicious 😋
Not yet!!!
Actually, bacon IS a very healthy food, as long as you avoid the sugary (maple, e.g.) varieties. Hypotheses about fat, salt, and nitrates have been shot down by recent, honest research. I enjoy it without worry -- and probably not as often as I should.
I believe everything in moderation!
I'm sure you probably watch Sten Ekberg. He's totally on board with what you stated.
@@OldSchoolCooks → So seed oils are OK with you? I think NOT.
Even the maple flavored isn't bad. Just checked my maple brown sugar Hatfield bacon. 13 carbs for 22 oz of bacon. About 1 carb per slice.
Obviously a shill from the bacon commission.... J/k
I need to try this next time I buy bacon. If I do bacon for bacon and eggs, I tend to use the skillet so I can fry the eggs in the rendered bacon fat but I'd definitely do bacon this way if I want to fry up a whole pack of bacon for snacking on throughout the day. 😀
Nice! You can always drain the fat from the parchment paper into the skillet! I cook my home fries in bacon fat too! Yum, but not healthy for sure!
I fry 2 lbs of thick cut bacon at a time in a large skillet. Then store in the fridge until I crisp it up in the microwave when ready to eat.
good to know!
That bacon looks damn good !
Sure is!
This is the way I cook bacon in the oven with parchment paper. No messy pan. We have a few things in common OS. Seems like Rocky is hungry 😊- 😘🍀🍀🍀🌹
Very cool!
One of the best things to eat.
Oh yes!
oldschoolcooks when do you start the timer ? when you turn the oven on or when it reaches 400 deg's ?
When U turn the oven on... some cuts are almost done when the oven reaches 400, that's when I start to check.
What is your suggested oven temp? Broil or bake?
400F Bake
I will try this. Question: Does the grease get all over the oven? Thanks 😊
Not at all, it really does not splatter and the cold oven keeps the bacon flat as the fat renders… You'll see!
@@OldSchoolCooks Thank u will try it.
Is that time of 14 minutes from the time your turn on the oven or when it reaches 400F.?
When it reaches temp
no, total time, it could be to your doneness at 14 min...
Two things: First, cold oven set to 390°. It takes a few minutes more, but you don't have that slightly overcooked bacon smell in the house for hours. Second, use heavy duty aluminum foil instead of parchment. Leave the foil sides raised up to reduce spatter in the oven, and you can then save the grease for other things. It's best to take the bacon out when you think it's just slightly underdone if you're going to freeze. That way the reheating will finish the cooking.
cold oven of course, that's the point! I find PP better than foil too.
FoiI works when you cook oId schooI because bacon grease is GOLD to use in cooking. VegetabIe oiI/seed oiI is not heaIthy.
UPDATE: I just did THICK sIiced bacon, eight wide pieces on a sheet pan. I used parchment paper. Put it in a coId oven and put it on 400 degrees, it took about 35 minutes to get crispy. Turned it haIfway through. The bacon came out fIat and nice. I didn't think I couId save by IoveIy bacon grease when using parchment but it gave me very cIean grease that didn't need to be strained. The bacon didn't stick to the PP.
this is how we did it in the restaurant i worked in.
👍🏻
I use foil for easy clean up… you can still save it into a mason jar for cooking with it later. I also bake at 350F come out perfect every time
fOil is much easier to maneuver the bacon fat… But parchment paper is more forgiving in crisping
I like using tin foil for me it cooks a little faster. Cold is a good tip
I always take it out and do something else than start the bacon
Yep, I used foil too, Parchment has almost zero splatter!
What did you have the oven set to? If it looks like that after 14 minutes I'm guessing 425 degrees Fahrenheit?
Put the bacon into a cold oven and set it to 400 Fahrenheit
@@OldSchoolCooks Thank you :^))
I do brown sugar and when it's 95% done I'll Crack black pepper on them. Candied bacon makes the best BLT ever!
As long as you have a nice homegrown beef steak or heirloom tomato!
@OldSchoolCooks of course....155 yo heirloom from Sicily... my mom has grown for 60 years...so tasty we used to just have them plain with a little salt and pepper
By the way, when you get around to making a grilled cheese (with 2 to 3 types of cheese) with lunch meat added, make sure to pan sear the meat. I usually do salami. Keep the recipes coming my friend....I need them since I can't enjoy food for a bit longer!
Bacon and hard boiled egg great snack
Oh yes!
I have tried parchment paper, I prefer aluminum foil. I put a little water in the pan to slow things down. Apparently there are several stages to bacon cooking and to extend the sub 230 degree phase make better tasting bacon. All that said, I have made bacon in the microwave, frying pan, and air fryer and all methods work.
Agreed, whatever works best for your needs.
I think bacon is one of the healthiest foods you can eat! Low carb, high fat, medium protein. What is unhealthy about it? The Cholesterol? We already know the Cholesterol myth has been debunked, right? The truth is out there.
Moma always was scared of the nitrates!
I just enjoy doing it in a cast iron skillet
Old school at its best!… Give the oven method a try too.
We don't use parchment paper. We just put it on the pan and you have to save the grease in a can in the corner for your vegetables, rice, or whatever else you're cooking. Healthy, no. Tasty, always.
Agreed! I. use It mostly for Home Fries!
Now can i have a BLT please?
Only with some nice Homegrown Tomatoes!
Bacon bacon bacon❤️
❤️
Don’t throw that grease away, it’s awesome for all kinds of other uses.
Never! I love my home fries cooked in it!
I cook my bacon in the oven.
👍🏻
14 minutes, is that with convection on?
No convection.
Or on stovetop sloooowly
Slow & Low!
Save the grease for eggs later
Sure! I make my home fries with the bacon fat Yum
The best way to cook bacon is grill it outdoors on a gas grill like a steak…..no pan, placed directly on the grate. No mess inside on the stove or oven. No after smell in the house.
Right on!
Don't you get a lot of grease popping all over the oven?
No, not at all... Parchment paper helps.
You can't beat the thick sliced smoked bacon at the Kroger deli for only $4.99 a pound. Everything else tastes lame by comparison.
Good to know.
Here in Canada it's hard to find descent bacon. Full of fat that needs to be trimmed away.
👍🏻😢
I want all the fat from bacon. Never throw the fat away! It's valuable and worth money!
And so good!
Show me something new gleamy golden god man 😏
ok
Just don't eat bacon in the buffet line
Yeah, I bet John Belushi would have been banned from Mohegan Sun VIP lounges! 😂😂😂
You need to try British or Danish bacon. You will not believe how much better it is. You won't need to drain the grease away.
Wil have to try it!
You lost me, at parchment paper. Oven the best. Bacon gone at once. Here. Thick and crispy. Wright's the best thick bacon. All I make.
So good!
I once got a pack of bacon that was SO THINLY SLICED that one of those slices you have there would have made three of mine. Paper thin. I hate to admit that I was so angry trying to get it open that I just shredded it apart and I think even tossed it away, though I think I may have saved it to put into a big pot of green beans. (This was back before the bidenflation hell we're suffering with now).
When I get paper thin slices sometimes, I twist the slices almost like a braid and it helps out save the day
I disagree, you get better bacon on a super hot cast iron skillet, it sears the bacon and gives it a better taste, your bacon did look nice though and there wasn’t a lot of mess
Thanks for sharing!
It also takes a lot longer if you're frying up a large batch. This is an alternative. Because some of us like having more than one way to do something.
You sound very - very gay 🎉
Didn't know gay has a sound, but I do know your comment sounds very homophobic.
Everyone uses frying pan to cook bacon, and cook their eggs in bacon fat
I cook my home fries in the bacon fat. Frying pan makes the oil dirty with burnt pieces.
Actually everyone doesn't. I do but I know that not everyone does that. Half this country will eat McDonald's but thinks bacon grease is unhealthy.
You say you are making bacon, but you start off with sliced bacon????? To make bacon you start off with pork and the salts used to turn it ionto bacon. You are only COOKING bacon, not making it!!!!
Thanks for watching
There's always one 🙄
We love bacon too. In moderation of course. Do you put the bacon in the oven while it is preheating? Does it pop grease all over the oven? And one more question- was that a bird singing in the background?
Everything in moderation! Yes, I don't turn the oven on until the bacon is in. The splatter is minimal. Rocky is an African cape parrot. You can see him in my egg video. He'll make more appearances too!
