Baking your bacon on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet allows the rendered fat to drip away from the bacon, helping it cook up even crunchier than pan-frying. (While bacon should be started in a cold pan if you're cooking it on the stovetop, you can crank up the heat if your baking your bacon in the oven. We found a temp of 450Â°F gave oven-baked bacon the same smoky depth as the stovetop kind. Just cook it for 20 minutes to get perfectly sizzled slices.)
Cooking Times. Cooking times vary depending on the type of oven, the thickness of the strips and how crispy you like your bacon. On average, bacon takes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook from the time you put it in a non-preheated oven, though you should check the progress after 10 to 12 minutes. You may need to remove the pan midway and drain off excessive amounts of bacon grease to reduce splattering.
