How to Make Perfect Quick and Easy Oven Broiled Bacon

How can you not know how to prepare bacon? It sounds too easy, just fry it up in a pan! But sometimes, if you don’t know a few tricks, even simple things can be a messy hassle. In this post, you will find out How to Make Perfect Quick and Easy Oven Broiled Bacon!

I learned that the hard way. I used to fry bacon on the stove, in a pan. Sounds fine enough, but cooking for a large family isn’t always that easy and can get downright messy when you must fry multiple panfuls before having enough to go around. The stove gets pretty splattered and greasy afterward. Clean up becomes a pain. Also, the organic kind of bacon I like is sliced much thicker and it seems to take twice longer to cook.

So I thought, why not try to broil it in the oven? Good idea! I was very pleased with the result. No mess, easy cleanup, and more exciting… free hands to do something else. A huge time saver! You can get more done at once, like frying the eggs or flipping the pancakes at breakfast, while the bacon is broiling in the oven.

Broiling bacon is much quicker than the popular way of frying it, so you should stand close by to pull it out in time. I actually searched social media before making this post if anyone cooks bacon in the oven. I was surprised that there are many posts about oven broiled and baked bacon. According to some posts, and as I experimented myself

… it takes longer to bake than to broil bacon.

So nothing new I discovered with the idea of broiling but preparing it that way was a good experience. I’d like to share with those who may not know how much more quickly you can prepare your bacon in the oven by broiling, than frying on the stovetop. I hope you find it helpful and easier to prepare perfect, crispy bacon every time – in no time – with no clean up afterward. Perfectly sizzled and crisp! 🙂

NOTE: I’ve always used an electric oven or an electric toaster oven to broil this bacon recipe. I’ve never tried broiling bacon in the gas-burning oven, and would not recommend it.

Ingredients for Broiling Bacon

  • Uncured Natural Bacon

    Thats a great idea! Especially for a large crowd! My crowd is not large, so I just microwave the bacon… I know its not very healthy but we don’t eat it very often. But I’ll keep in mind your way of broiling it for next time we have company! Thanks Valya!

      We don’t eat bacon often either, but it’s best for your health to make your meals healthier way. It probably takes the same amount of time to microwave bacon and broil in the oven. It does not matter how much bacon is on the pan 3 pieces or 30 pieces for example, it takes the same amount of time to broil. What I meant in the post is it takes longer to fry 30 pieces of bacon on the top stove pan than 3 pieces. So, I would highly recommend to make your bacon in the oven instead of microwave. Its much healthier, faster and hassle free clean up. I really appreciate your comment Olya and look forward hearing from you after you try making bacon in the oven. 🙂

    I made my bacon this way for the first time today. Loved it!! It was perfect. I found I had to broil for a bit longer after flipping though – 3 minutes instead of 2.

    I’m silly and broiled it on high, because our oven has 2 settings. Luckily my fiance likes meat charcoal. Thx though for this tip! Will go with low next time. ;-p

      Absolutely! Broiling time may be longer, I would stan by the entire time.

    Can you use parchment paper instead of foil?

    Reply
    • Valya of Valya's Taste of Home

      August 27, 2020 at 8:38 pm

      No, parchment paper will burn and may get on fire. You may omit foil and place bacon right onto the baking pan. That’s what I have been doing lately. Thanks for asking!

    Make sure you place the pan even lower than the middle of the oven. It broils beautifully without flaring dangerously up into the broiler flames. You need to watch it carefully and be careful when you remove the pan from the oven.

      I’m just curious did you broil bacon in the electric or gas-burning oven? I’ve had people mentioning it about the flames before which got me confused. I’ve never used a gas-burning oven to broil the bacon. I’ve always used an electric oven or electric toaster oven and there are never ever any flames. I would appreciate your reply. And thank you for your feedback!

Is there anything more comforting food than mashed potatoes? It never gets old at our house. I really wanted to post this quick, creamy, and delicious Instant Pot version of it before Thanksgiving to save you time in the upcoming holiday cooking! You know what is the most important thing I absolutely love about making mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot? Once you mash the potato with a hand mixer (or a potato masher) it can be kept in the pot on warm cycle for hours. The taste and texture are the same as it was just freshly mashed!
