    I know someone who hangs the strips from his oven rack using clothespins and bakes his bacon that way.

    My son believes it to be a crime against humanity if we run out of bacon, bacon bits, or homemade Bacon ranch mayo.

    I was born a fool, and just got bigger!

    I tend to either bake on parchment, or cast iron with a bit of water. The cast iron with water renders a lot more of the fat.

    I like to use thick cut smoked bacon as a flavoring agent rather than eating it straight. Oink!!!!

    Here you go @Stubble @Yakster @IndustMech

    8 pieces of perfect bacon:

    1. Go fetch your broiler pan, discard the top.
    2. Layout eight pieces of bacon in the pan. Lining the pan with foil is optional. Makes it harder to collect the bacon grease but easier to clean the pan.
    3. Sprinkle three or four tablespoons of water on top of the bacon.
    4. Put the pan in your oven on the middle rack. Then turn the oven on to 400°.
    5. Bacon will be done in 12 to 20 minutes depending on thickness, your oven, the starting temperature of your bacon, whether your broiler pan is non-stick, whether you used foil, and a some other factors.

    You'll know your bacon is done when you get that nice medium rose color and translucent fat. Darker red is more crispy and cardboard like. Very pink and white is very floppy.

    The water in the pan slows down the Maillard reaction and allows all of the bacon to come up to temperature at the same time. A better, more even cook results in more rendered collagen and fat, which produces a better crisp without a burn. This is also why I cook the bacon from a cold oven instead of a preheated one.

    If you like your bacon floppy like a sociopath, then pull it out a minute or two earlier and don't let it set. Go from pan to plate to mouth in a minute or two.

    If you're not a sociopath, pull the bacon out and put it on a paper towel. It will continue to cook, and overcook, in the pan.

    Of course if you like crispy and greasy bacon, go from the pan to the plate and let rest for about 3 minutes.

    Please tell them I'm right @Patrickbrick.

    Oh and if you are a psychopath and a sociopath, you can crinkle your foil up and then line your pan with it, so the fat collects under the bacon. If you do this, please let me know so I can change my phone number if you know it.

    This is getting into roast profile OCD territory here with your bacon starting from cold and extending the development time. I love it.

    I want to see someone connect a PID to their toaster oven and develop the perfect profiles for bacon based on brand, thickness, and origin.

    Starting from a cold oven also lets you take your time with the rest of the meal, giving you plenty of time to make a perfect poached egg, hash, potatoes, or any other concoction you might come up with.

    I have to admit that lately I've been gravitating more to breakfast sausage links over bacon. It's faster to prepare and I really do enjoy those little links with breakfast.

    No matter if it's bacon or sausage, I apply a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper to the pork meat while cooking.
