The "only" way, or correct way in this male cooks mind, is to place the bacon strips on a wire rack that is placed in a sheet pan with "NO" paper products of any kind in the sheet pan, or on the wire rack. The bacon cooks twice as fast, as the rendered bacon fat drips into the sheet pan. Throw the bacon to your dog or cat and pore off the liquid "Ambrosia" otherwise known as bacon grease, into a lockable container and either stored on the back of the stove, as in years past, or put in fridge to solidify' Use sparingly in anything you would like to have the flavor of bacon in or use for frying eggs, potatoes n' onions, meats, vegetables, or anything else consumable .... might even work well on your Wheaties or oatmeal in the morning. I can't imagine what couldn't be improved upon gastronomically, by the conservative use of "Bacon Drip'uns" ! So all you hedonistics, bake that pork belly. You might even put some on a top of a slice of tomato, a shake of fresh ground pepper, and lettuce, inside two pieces of warm eight grain honey bread toast.
