Remove your serving of bacon from the package so it comes to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400F. 

Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Place room temp slices of bacon onto the parchment-lined pan with at least one inch between slices.

Slide pan into the oven. 

Cook times and ovens may vary. See Notes for times and temps

Using oven mitts, carefully remove the pan (which may be very full of hot grease) to the stovetop or a heat-safe surface and let it sit for two minutes.

Remove cooked bacon with tongs to the paper-towel-lined plate.

Handle with care; cooked bacon can be added to recipes right away or saved for later snacking.
