Cooking bacon in the oven is an alternative method to traditional stovetop cooking. It involves placing bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil and baking them in a preheated oven until crispy.
This method offers several benefits over stovetop cooking. Firstly, it reduces the risk of splattering grease, making it a safer option. Secondly, it allows for more even cooking, resulting in consistently crispy bacon. Additionally, baking bacon in the oven frees up stovetop space for other cooking tasks.
