Bacon in the oven

[Benal]

I just made bacon in the oven for the first time, but they came out waaaaay to crispy. What temp and how long is optimal? I cooked them at 385 for about 40 mins.

I do it at 550. I cook the strips for 7-8 minutes, flip them, and then cook for another 7-8 minutes.

How can bacon be too crispy?

Good thing you didn't cook it at 390 or anything silly like that.

Pro tip: If you open the oven door a little part way through the cooking process you can peek to see how its coming along. You don't have to start over or anything after you open the door.

bacon is best when cooked for a long time at a low temperature. It should simmer in its own fat. Do it in a 275F oven until it's ready - I'm guessing about 1-1.5 hours. That's how I did my homemade bacon tonight, and it was delightful.
