Got a whole plate of bacon from your Christmas brunch? The oven is your best friend. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). That’s the sweet spot—hot enough to crisp, gentle enough not to burn.

Line a baking sheet with foil (or parchment if you’re fancy) and lay the bacon in a single layer. Slide it in for about 5 to 7 minutes, but watch it like a hawk. Ovens are moody.
When you pull it out, the fat should be hot and sizzling, but not hard. Let it rest for one minute. The residual heat finishes the job. This method is perfect because you can do eggs or toast while the bacon quietly does its thing.
