Baking Bacon In The Oven
How To Collect Bacon Grease, The Nectar Of The Gods
You may have seen people recommend baking bacon flat on a rack of cookie sheet. However, if you love to collect as much super-useful bacon grease (bacon fat) as possible, try hanging bacon from the oven rack.
You will need a cookie sheet big enough for however much bacon you will cook. A 12"x16" cookie sheet is shown here cooking 3 packages (30 oz) of bacon.
