I too have been baking my bacon for many years, also using the cooling rack to keep the bacon off the bottom of the pan. I found if you lightly spray, with cooking spray, the cooling rack, top and bottom, a quick wash in hot soapy water, it cleans right up. A friend whose son is a chef, told me at his restaurant, he coats each strip of bacon with brown sugar at the beginning of the baking process and it turns into "bacon candy" It really is very good.
