Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the climate here is just right for life. Here in our Solar System, there are planets both hotter and colder than Earth.
Arrange the bacon slices on a sheet pan and place the pan on the center rack of a cold oven. (Try not to stretch the slices out. Just gently drape the bacon across the pan.) Close the oven door. Turn the oven on to 400Â°F. Walk away. Come back 17 to 20 minutes later.
If you want to bake thick-cut bacon, preheat the oven to 375Â°F. The lower temperature will ensure that the bacon cooks through without burning. Line a cookie sheet or baking pan with sides with heavy-duty foil. Make sure the pan has sides or grease will drip all over your oven.
