What's The Ideal Oven Temperature To Cook Bacon?
BY Grace Haass
Cooking bacon at extreme or low heat can produce a less-than-desirable texture, but making bacon in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit will give you perfectly crisp strips.
Bacon is a fatty cut of meat. Although the fat adds to the flavor, you want most of it to render or essentially melt out while cooking so that you end up with crispy slices.
To achieve this, you want the heat to be high but not excessively high. A cooking time of 18-25 minutes is recommended, depending on your preferred level of crisp.
