There are different opinions on the temperature to bake bacon, but most sources recommend 400°F (200°C) . Some sources suggest starting with a cold oven and letting the bacon cook as the oven heats up, while others recommend preheating the oven to 400°F before baking the bacon. The cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it, but it usually takes between 10 to 20 minutes. Here are the general steps to bake bacon in the oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
3. Arrange the bacon slices on the baking sheet, making sure they dont overlap.
4. Bake the bacon for 10 to 20 minutes or until its as crispy as youd like.
5. Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease.

Some sources recommend using a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow the heat to circulate all around the bacon, which can make it even crispier. However, this method requires washing the greasy rack afterwards. If you dont have a rack, you can bake the bacon straight on a sheet pan, but remember to flip it halfway through cooking. Its important to keep an eye on the bacon past the 10-minute mark to ensure its cooked to your personal preference.
