Okay, I admit that when I read this post, I was skeptical. How could the bacon cook in the oven without getting the oven greased up? But PJ said it works. And SOOOOOOO many comments also said it works. So yesterday, I took the plunge and baked my bacon. Cookie sheet covered with foil (from previous batch of candied nuts) and parchment (which I buy in half sheets 100 at a time from KAF) in place. Bacon placed on sheet and put in the oven ... Holding my breath .... Wait? Where's the splattering? The grease flying everywhere? I am a believer!! Bacon perfectly cooked and no mess, no fuss no greasy stove top to clean, no fry pan to scrub, no burns, and time to accomplish other things on the list of "To Do" for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Win, win, win! Thanks PJ for posting this tip. I am now a bacon baker never to return to the fry pan. You have never led me astray! Merry Christmas!
