1 lb thick or classic cut bacon

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C/180°C fan, Gas Mark 6). uytine a large baking sheet with heavy duty foil and fit with an oven safe rack.

Arrange bacon slices on rack leaving around ½” between for the air to circulate.

Cook thick-cut slices for 20-25 minutes, classic cut cook for 15-20 minutes or until desired crispness is reached.

Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate.

If you're rendering the bacon fat, line a fine mesh sieve with a paper towel. Then place the sieve over a glass storage container and pour the bacon fat from the sheet tray into the sieve. Cover the glass storage container and place it in the refrigerator for future cooking needs.
