For extra crispy bacon, consider placing a wire rack on top of the foil ridges before arranging the bacon. Don't discard the rendered bacon fat! Strain it and store it in the refrigerator for future culinary adventures – it's fantastic for roasting vegetables or adding depth to sauces. Bacon thickness will affect cooking time, so keep an eye on it, especially the first time you use this method. Ensure the aluminum foil is heavy duty. Regular foil is too flimsy and will tear.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare a baking sheet by covering it with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, ensuring it's twice the length of the pan. Create a series of ridges and valleys by pinching and folding the foil every inch. These channels will allow the bacon fat to drain, promoting even crisping. (5 minutes)
03
StepArrange the bacon slices side-by-side on the prepared foil, ensuring they don't overlap. (2 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispness, typically indicated by a light foam forming on the surface. (25-30 minutes)
05
StepRemove from oven and carefully transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease. (2 minutes)
