This clever tip from America's Test Kitchen uses a simple, homemade aluminum foil rack to elevate bacon in the oven. This method allows grease to drip away, resulting in perfectly crispy, non-soggy strips and making cleanup incredibly easy.
Create a makeshift rack by folding a large sheet of aluminum foil into an accordion-like shape with ridges at about 1-inch intervals. Place this foil rack on a baking sheet.
Lay the bacon strips horizontally across the ridges of the foil rack.
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast until the fat begins to render, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Rotate the pan front to back and continue roasting until the bacon is crisp and browned. This will take about 5-6 more minutes for thin-sliced bacon, or 8-10 more minutes for thick-cut bacon.
This foil rack method elevates the bacon, preventing it from sitting and cooking in its own grease, which results in crispier strips.
The rendered grease collects in the valleys of the foil, making cleanup significantly easier. Simply let the grease cool and solidify, then discard the foil.
This technique is excellent for cooking a large batch of bacon at once without the mess of stovetop splattering.
