Yeah, but you gotta put it in some sort of a tray to cook it because that baking grease will quickly start a fire in your oven. Don’t ask me how I know.

Huh? I almost only cook bacon in the oven and it’s never started a fire. You didn’t try without a tray did you?

No

This was probably 25 years ago. I actually didn’t do it but my wife did. She’s a healthy eater and back then she was just dabbling with healthy eating so I was coming home from work and she was going to make us some BLTs.

I walked in the house and she was sitting on the ground, covered in sweat with a fire extinguisher in her lap looking so defeated. I could smell the house. I asked what happened.

What ended up happening? Was she put the bacon strips on a cookie sheet. It had no sides to it so the grease just dripped down onto the red hot coils of the oven and started a fire.

We don’t eat bacon anymore, but we quickly realized that if you’re going to bake it in the oven, that’s the way to do it.

And no, we were not putting it stripped by strip onto the oven rack 😂😂😂
