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.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use parchment paper to line baking trays with edges. Lay the bacon touching long ways, but not overlapping. Bake at 350 degrees until desired doneness. (For bacon that is set and partially crisp, but not too crisp, cook approximately 7 minutes.)
