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.
Cooking Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the bacon on a slotted broiler tray (or something similar) with a catch tray beneath it for the bacon grease. Cook the bacon for about 10-15 minutes, but be sure to keep a close eye on it because bacon can go from crisp perfection to charred blackness in a matter of minutes. Pros: Since the grease falls into another pan as the bacon cooks, this version is slightly less messy and less dangerous -- there is no worry of being burned by sputtering grease from the pan.
