Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Divide bacon between 2 wire racks set inside large foil-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake, rotating baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until brown and crisp, 35-50 minutes (depending on the thickness). Transfer to paper towels to drain.
