Cooking Tip # 23

"Bacon can be easily baked in the oven, resulting in amazingly flat slices. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a rack inside a baking sheet. Lay out slices and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on desired doneness level. Voila! Crispy bacon with no curls. First of all, the splatters not only make a royal mess, but also cause flares. Secondly, it requires much more attention."
