I oven fry bacon in a bacon pan lined with parchment paper, put the bacon right on the parchment paper, 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Put the bacon on a paper towel to degrease. No clean up. Just let the bacon grease cool in the pan, then lift the paper out the pan by its four corners and put in the garbage can. Wipe out the baking pan with a paper towel and put it back where it goes. No cleaning necessary. Learned from Martha Stewart.

Cooking bacon in the oven way too long and, contrary to your review, does splatter the inside of the oven. I make bacon for a crew and waiting 20+ minutes for each pan takes WAY too long.
I prefer the microwave bacon dish (it lifts up the bacon out of the grease as well). I cover my bacon with a paper plate, cook 1 minute per strip and add a minute for good measure. It comes out perfectly flat and crispy and I then discard all the grease in an old coffee can. 🙂

In reply to Cheryl. You can try 400°F for ten minutes or so. You may also wan to flip the pieces halfway.

At what temp do you bake it in the air fryer?

In reply to Ruth Finck. The broiler pans are usually a bit more non-stick as well.

I bake it on a cookie sheet but without the rack. I line it with either tin foil or parchment paper. Bake for about 10 min and then flip each piece. The bake another 10 min. Sometimes it can go another. 5 min. I find it cooks better in the grease. You can still save the grease then fold up the tin foil and toss out. Parchment can go straight into the green bin. Pan isn't even dirty. I pat the strips with paper towels and store in a zip lock in the freezer. Zap as needed.

In reply to Sandy. Recently, I've had the same issue. I think it's just a problem with the grease coming out while baking as I always put it in a cold oven. I'm not sure if a lower temp would help, but it's worth a try.

I have tried twice to bake my bacon and both times my smoke alarms went off and smoke filled my kitchen. I place the pan of water on bottom rack also. Did not help!
I have made sure bacon stays on the rack also. Help what am I doing wrong? Is it better to put it in a cold oven? Lower temp?

I cook my bacon in the oven like suggested BUT I twist it first (fits 1# easily on the pan/rack) AND I cook it at 300º for about an hour. Actually, I put in the oven when I get up at 0500 (early riser, go figure!) put it in a cold oven heat it to 300º turn it off after an hour and let it sit in the oven until we are ready to eat it. NO smoke ever and our bacon is crispy and delicious...no burned pieces...
