Cooking bacon in the oven is a simple and effective way to achieve evenly cooked, crispy bacon. Unlike pan-frying, which requires constant monitoring and can result in uneven cooking, oven-baked bacon allows you to set it and forget it, ensuring consistent results every time.
In addition to its convenience, oven-baked bacon offers several benefits. Firstly, it produces less splatter than pan-frying, making it a cleaner and safer cooking method. Secondly, it allows you to cook large batches of bacon at once, making it ideal for feeding a crowd. Thirdly, oven-baked bacon is healthier than pan-fried bacon as it requires less oil or butter.
