I only meant to take a peek at the KAF blog to see what’s the latest, and I ended up reading all 100+ comments! Great info and tips! A good read. Thanks so much! I love the idea of ‘bacon candy’. Sugar, and cinnamon, and – my goodness – Jack Daniel!?? This leads me to the thought of the flavorful maple sugar and syrup. All good, right? Spattering is not a problem for me either. But if that pack of bacon is fattier it does tend to spatter (and smoke) more. When this happens I pull the baking sheet out midway and blot off some of the rendered fat gathered on the parchment before finishing the baking. Cooking bacon in the oven is a big step forward from standing next to the hot stove. I am a recent convert ( 2 or 3 years?) but I won't go back. Totally a good thing.
