If you love ultra-crispy bacon with less grease, draining is a must. However, if you enjoy a little extra richness, you can skip this step and let the rendered fat add more flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Drain Bacon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Paper Towel Method: <\/strong>The most common method is placing the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels. The towels absorb excess grease, helping the bacon crisp up even more. You can also use a brown paper bag!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cooling Rack Method<\/strong>: If you used a baking rack in the oven, you can let the bacon rest on it for a few minutes after cooking. This allows any remaining grease to drip off naturally. However the paper towel method will absorb more of the grease in much less time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"tip-container\"><div class=\"tip-tagline\">Save That Bacon Grease!<\/div><h3 class=\"tip-title\"><\/h3><div class=\"tip-content\"><p>Follow my Southern granny&#8217;s advice and drain and save the bacon grease to use in place of oil or butter.

However, it will take less time to cook and is easier to burn because of how thin it is. Watch closely and check in on it often!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch Closely &amp; Set a Timer:<\/strong> Since some bacon is thicker than others, so check on your bacon after 10 minutes. Use the alarm on your phone to remind you to watch the bacon! A couple of extra minutes can be the difference between perfectly cooked and burnt bacon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rotate:<\/strong> To avoid any hot spots in the oven, rotate the baking tray halfway through the cooking time. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cold Bacon:<\/strong> Using cold bacon (not room temperature) allows the fat to render slowly, resulting in crispier bacon.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple Trays:<\/strong> If you are cooking multiple sheet pans of bacon, place one tray on the middle rack and one on the upper rack. Swap the racks half way through cooking. You may need to add an additional 1 to 2 minutes to the overall cook time as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Season Before Baking:<\/strong>&nbsp;Sprinkle brown sugar, cracked black pepper, a little maple syrup, or a dash of cayenne pepper on the bacon slices before baking for a sweet or spicy twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Making bacon in the oven is an effortless, mess-free way to make perfectly cooked bacon every time!
