Cool Tip For Bacon Cooking In The Oven

[ProfessorGAC]

Many of you already know that the recommended oven temperature for bacon is 425°F.
But I saw a cool tip, that made sense to me, and I tried it today. It works!!
Since the lowest molecular weight fraction is the tricaprate and the highest the tristearate, bacon fat melts over a range of around 90°F to about 145°.
So, the tip is, get the bacon on a cookie sheet, set the oven temperature, and put the bacon in. Don't wait for the oven to preheat!
Long before the Maillard reaction begins to cook the lean protein, tge preponderance of the fat has been rendered away.
So, I ended with with perfectly brown & crisp, flat (uncurled) bacon.
Patted the grease away with a paper towel & in a couple minutes a whole pound of perfectly cooked crispy bacon was the result.
I had to pay close attention to the time because it was a first time, but it was 6 to 7 minutes after the oven hit the set temperature.
I just saw this tip yesterday and I'm glad I did.
