Oven Method (Bonus Style)
Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
Set the Stage: Place bacon on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
Steam Start: Add 1–2 tablespoons of water to the sheet (not on the bacon).
Bake: Roast for 15–20 minutes. Flip halfway through for even browning.
✨ Pro Tips
Thick-Cut Wins: Sturdier strips stand up to the water method like pros.
Wire Racks Rule: Let the fat drip off for bacon that stays crisp—not soggy.
Keep the Fat: Save the liquid gold (bacon grease!) for eggs, greens, or roasted veggies.
Flavor Boosts: Try dusting strips with brown sugar, cracked pepper, or smoked paprika before cooking.
