Instead of microwaving bacon or putting it a skillet on the stove, bake it in the oven. It is awesome! This is one of those tips that is really worth assimilating into your cooking life. Take the bacon and put it on a cookie sheet or broiler pan. I like the broiler pan because the grease cooks into the bottom pan leaving nice crispy bacon on the top pan. If you don't have a broiler pan then place a piece of parchment paper on your 1/2 sheet baking pan.
Lay the bacon out and then bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes. It actually takes the same amount of time to do it in the oven as it does to cook it anywhere else and it is less mess and you don't have to stand over it. I like to flip my bacon half way through cooking just to ensure even cooking. Try it, love will bloom! The bacon comes out perfectly cooked. It is nice and flat, not curled up and the grease cooks into the bottom as mentioned before.
