How to Prep Bacon for Broiling
Firstly, you'll need to prep your oven. Turn the oven setting to a high-temperature broil. This setting is perfect for achieving that delightful crunch we all love in bacon. Remember, every oven is different, so you may need to adjust the cooking time based on your oven's efficiency.
Next, grab your thick-cut bacon slices and arrange them on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. The foil is there to catch the bacon grease, making cleanup a breeze later. Make sure to spread the bacon out evenly on the pan, so each slice cooks at the same rate.
How to Broil Bacon
Now it is time to cook! Place the sheet pan in the oven, ideally on the middle rack. This position guarantees even heat distribution and prevents the bacon from burning. Broil the bacon for about five minutes.
Then, take the pan out of the oven (be careful, it's hot!) and flip each slice of bacon over. This helps make sure that both sides get that delicious broil.
Once flipped, place the pan back in the oven and broil for another two minutes. Keep an eye on your bacon during this time to prevent it from getting overcooked.
Once your bacon is beautifully broiled, remove the pan from the oven. Now, transfer the bacon onto a paper towel-lined plate. The paper towel will absorb the excess bacon grease, leaving you with perfectly crispy and not overly greasy bacon slices.
Done! All the bacon at once. That’s how quick and easy it is!
