Bacon is one of those fickle things, we know we all love crispy bacon but for most of us it seems to be hit an miss. Is it something to do with the heat of the pan, the type of bacon, when you put it in or how much oil you use? It seems however that the trick, and stop reading here if you get crispy bacon all the time, is the way it’s cooked.
Forget the pan or the microwave – did you really think the microwave would work? The trick is to bake it. Now before you think that’s too hard it’s really not. Pre-heat the oven to about 180C, throw down some baking paper to reduce the clean up mess, save your oil and just bake the bacon for about 2omin. In just 20min I had the perfect bacon for me. The rind was nicely crispy, the meat was still a little tender and the fat all but drained off after a single turn.
Back by popular demand is another time-series photoshoot of the bacon cooking. Give it a shot, it’s really quite simple. And the best bit is it free’s the fry-pan up for the eggs so you get both cooked perfect and served hot with minimal fuss.
Bake your bacon for the perfect crispiness!

The real breakfast of champions, bacon and eggs! I have it most days but do a quick fry due to time constraints. But this would be a good weekend option. I guess you could also bake it in the BBQ?
Wow, nice looking bacon…can I come to your house for breakfast please?
I’ve been cursing over the pan and stuck/burnt/greasy bacon for years…and now I know the secret!
Cheers
