In reply to Crystal. Hi Crystal - for the best, crispiest bacon, it should really be made right before serving it. :-/

Can I cook the bacon a day ahead, then re-warm in the morning and it still be crispy?

Lori, I tried this today for my Brussels sprouts/tart cherry pizza, and for my money, this is an absolute genius way to cook bacon. It doesn’t smell up the house, doesn’t splatter, and when I went to save the grease, it was surprisingly easy to pick up the parchment and pour the grease into a bow. I’m sure my husband will love not having to clean up the stove after I cook bacon. So this is a winner all the way around. Thank you!!!

In reply to Stacey Montanti. Hi Stacey - I would follow the directions, in batches, to cook all of your bacon first. Perhaps undercook it by just a minute or two. Then, I would do exactly as you said, which is keep it covered (I would just leave it at room temp), until just before serving, when I would rewarm it in the oven for a few minutes, then the sterno. I hope that helps!

I need to make a large amount of bacon for brunch I’m
Having for Mother’s Day. Do I need to do batches. I’m wondering what the best way to do this is a little bit ahead of time so I’m not still baking while they are here. Can I pile the bacon in a aluminum pan covered n keep it like on top of my stove and then uncover it n warm in the oven right before they arrive? Then put it on a sterno rack?

So glad to hear that you also save bacon grease. It is such useful, tasty stuff.

In reply to Susan. Hi Susan! I still save the bacon grease. I wait for it to cool a little, and then just tip a corner of the baking pan into a grease-saving container!

I love having instructions for baked bacon. But it would appear that one can’t save the bacon grease when using that method. I grew up on bacon grease as the fat to cook the onion which was the start of most dishes my mother made, so I still save some because there are some dishes that just aren’t the same without the bacon flavor. I think what I like best about the oven method is that the bacon doesn’t curl up like it does in a frying pan.
