Long as I can remember my mom's cooked it in the microwave on a hanging rack so that the grease drips down. Makes it easy to collect the bacon grease for cooking field peas or collard greens or bacon cheddar scones. In the microwave I can do 12 strips of bacon in about ten minutes depending on if I'm making is crispy (yes!) or more limp strips (for the other members of the family). Though if I might try the baking method just to see how it works.
