I can think of 3 things I decided I will do this again. Any guesses?

Better for your weak little tummy when you eat way too much of it in one setting?

Only way to cook bacon

Buddies wife makes a big batch at one time it’s flattened, cooked evenly and not as greasy by the time you eat it. Just one mess to clean up instead of several.

Can think of a few, you now have bacon grease to save for future frying/cooking and the bacon is done without being too crispy in spots.

You can also , stop the cooking when you like the way it tastes, , and wrap in parchment paper keeping all the slices separate , and place in canning jars, and pressure can for future use.

Looks good, Hoss. I love using the oven for perfect floppy bacon.

Hoss,
You are going to have to fill me in on the secret of cooking bacon in the oven and why?
Every strait thinking Texan knows that bacon was made for the frying pan.

Take the bacon out, put it on some rags to mop of the grease, and then use the grease in the pan to put on the dog food or make some lure with.

i used to work at a college, that is how they cooked it there. i'd get a 5 gallon bucket every day!

Lefty, do you have to flip the bacon at all?

Ha! Ain't that the truth! Last coon that brought money for me was a 36" green hide for $8bucks!

You learned me something. I am going to try the bacon-oven thing.

It’s great both ways, a cast iron skillet or oven. Except with the oven , the bacon cooks more evenly. Love cooking with saved grease , too. You’ve got some good BLTs coming, Hoss.

The biggest thing I like about doing in the oven is doesn't splatter and get hot grease on you when turning in a pan.

My favorite way to cook bacon.

Now take some of that bacon grease and pour over some fresh pulled leaf lettuce, cut radish, green onion, bacon crumbled and oh my. Taste bud delight.
