Count me among those who bake the bacon. Never a problem with splatter. (To those who have experienced splatter, check oven temp with an accurate thermometer.) I have a microwave bacon cooker, but I prefer baking it. Microwave ovens are excellent for re-heating bacon, but fall short for cooking it--it dehydrates the bacon rather than crisping it. Like many others, I "fry" a large batch (two or three pounds at a time) and then refrigerate or freeze until ready to use. Bacon in a Flash!
