We do this with Bacon but if you are making fried Chicken or anything else and want to give this a shot you can always do that as well. We think this hack can be used for a lot of things.
Here Is What You Need To Do…
The Directions To Follow:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F: Place a rack in the lower third of the oven.
- If you're cooking multiple sheets of bacon, position a second rack in the top third of the oven.
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Lay the bacon on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- The bacon can be close together, but don't let it overlap or the bacon will stick during cooking. If necessary, use a second baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet of bacon in the oven and bake until the bacon is deep golden-brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Begin checking around 12 minutes to monitor how quickly the bacon is cooking.
- The bacon fat will sputter and bubble as the bacon cooks, but shouldn't splatter the way it does on the stove top.
- Pour off the bacon grease as needed so the bacon isn't totally submerged in grease.
- Remove the bacon from the oven and use tongs to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and finish crisping.

Cook it on a square griddle, on medium heat, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil, easy.
Or you could turn the heat down.
Awesome
And it makes a mess in your oven. I would rather clean up the grease on top of the stove instead of cleaning the oven weekly. Everyone says the oven method is wonderful, but nobody says what a mess it makes in the oven.
Oven works good at 350 degrees
I always cook bacon in the oven.
I do too, Lillian, and I’ve never had any splatter in the oven. I use a slotted broiler pan so the grease drains from the bacon.
I wear an old T-shirt.
Lower the heat and cover it with foil. Also you can place a smaller cookie sheet in a larger one to catch grease.
Grease-less, healthy vegan bacon is on the market now. It’s delicious 🙂
Been using this method for years, just line cookie sheet with foil, in oven at 420 for 15-25 mins, depending how crispy you like your bacon. It does not splatter , pull bacon let grease solidify roll up foil in the trash, no mess no fuss.
microwave
Duh! It won’t work for me.It just smoked up my oven really bad.I have a gas oven.
cook in mic takes out the oil put papper towels one on bottom one on top cook for seven min the best good luck try it ya going to like it
I tried putting water in skillet — worked out pretty good —but at the end you had to really watch it —there was some splatter when water dried up.
Use the micro with paper towels. Easier, faster and no mess.
Just wear an apron….I’m NOT old but use one on occasion
I think I like it better made in the oven.
We always microwave bacon. No mess and the bacon is crispy and good, just flatter.
Always do it in the oven if I have a large amount to cook. Comes out great!
I line my cookie sheet with double duty aluminum foil. Bake the bacon in the oven, and when your done, I throw away the aluminum foil.
I have never noticed the mess (foil over top) and have done it many times for big family gathering at breakfast.
Also stack in microwave in egg cartons, covered.
I always cook it in the oven
I have been baking bacon for the last couple of years. Will never make it any other way. No mess in my oven! Much better method than pay frying and having to clean the pan.
Parchment Paper works too.
I am going to try this the next time I make bacon.
I’ve been baking bacon forever. It doesn’t sizzle & spit like it does on top of the stove.
love doing it, it bakes flat and even!

If u place the bacon on a rack, add some water to the baking sheet. No splatter at all. Learned that a long time ago. I also use this method when I broil. About 1/2 glass should do it.
I place a cooling rack on top of the aluminum foil so the bacon doesn’t baste in the grease.
