If you’re still cooking bacon in the frying pan or microwave, this is a must-read! It really is possible to cook bacon without a big, greasy mess. Once you discover how easy it is to cook no-mess bacon in the oven, you’ll never go back to your frying pan…I promise!
Ingredients
- Bacon (as many slices as you wish!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil.
- Place bacon strips side by side on the foil lined baking sheet.
- Bake 20 minutes or until crispy.
- Place on paper towels to drain.
- Let the baking sheet cool and the grease will harden on the foil…then, just throw it away – no pan to wash!

Great tip! I love that there’s very little cleaning!
Nice! I’m terrible when it comes to messes, so I need to heed this one. My kitchen seriously looks like a natural disaster hit it – well, if flour, butter, sugar, cheese shreds, and various spices and dirty utensils and bowls can be considered a natural disaster.
Thanks!
I cook mine in the oven once in awhile. Good tip to share.
I totally love this idea! I used to use a microwave bacon pan but I didn’t like the way the bacon turned out. I’ll have to give this a try this weekend! Your site looks great!
I would be happy about the very little cleaning… but we don’t eat bacon because someone at our house is watching their cholesterol. Thanks though!
I’ve done the paper towel thing in the microwave, but this is much better with the foil. Thanks so much!
Awesome post. I appreciate you sharing this. It’s always priceless and wonderful to learn mess-free ideas that make things just a bit easier in our day to day life. Again, thanks for sharing!
I always make bacon in the oven, too, because there are too many of us to use any other method. Foil works great, but I actually use parchment paper because it is much cheaper and works as well. I also top the bacon with another piece of parchment, and then another cookie sheet to keep the bacon flat while it cooks, and to keep it from splattering.
The oven is definitely the best method for bacon!
This sounds like a very good way to cook it. If I weren’t vegetarian, I would definitely try it.
I’m actually a vegetarian with a meat eating family, and I’ve decided this is also a “less gross” way to cook it!
This is great and much healthier as opposed to frying.
