Cooking bacon on a rack in the oven is much easier than frying it in a pan. This method raises the meat in the pan so the strips aren't loaded with grease.

Notes
There's no need to preheat the oven first. Just add about 5 minutes to the total baking time if starting to bake in a cold oven.
To prevent the grease from smoking when baking, try placing a pan of water on the lower rack.
For easier cleanup, skip the baking rack and crumble foil in strips to make a rack. Alternatively, skip the rack all together.
The fat collected on the bottom of the pan can be saved and used for cooking.
