Notes
- Use regular thickness, center cut bacon for the best results.
- Thin bacon will cook more quickly, so check it sooner
- Thick bacon will take longer, check it often after the 9 minute mark.
- Grease accumulate in the bottom of the pan, be careful removing it from the oven because the grease will be hot and it can burn you.
- For great taste, add some spices or sugar to your bacon for great flavor!
- Line the tray with aluminum foil for quick clean up.
- Allow the grease to harden before trying to remove the aluminum foil to discard.
- Save the grease for cooking with later! Bacon grease adds terrific flavor to many dishes!
- If you do not have a rack for your toaster oven, no worries! Simply lay the bacon on aluminum foil and bend the edges up so that the grease will not drip out of the foil. Place the little foil tray you have made into the toaster oven.
