I just finished cooking about 2 pounds of bacon in the oven. It's wonderful to get it all over with at once. I will freeze it in Rubbermaid plastic rectangular boxes and remove it piece by piece when I need it. Then, when needed, a few seconds in the microwave, or just leaving it sit out for a few minutes does it. Here's how I do it. I use the bottom half of the broiler pan setting the slotted grill top aside. I line the pan with heavy foil, lay out the bacon, and bake for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it--it may need a little more. When it is done, I remove the bacon, and let the pan sit until it is cool and the fat is stable enough to wrap up in the foil. Then toss it. NO PANS TO WASH! This time I am using (from Costco) that wonderful Hormel Old Smokehouse thick slice bacon. It comes in 4 lb. packages. I have also bought, at Costco, their regular bacon that comes packaged with four individual, one pound packages of bacon, but it is thin sliced. But it is very good as well. Now, no bacon cooking to fill the air for quite a while! Enjoy, Nancree
