I only cook bacon in the oven. If you fry bacon on the top of the stove, it is hard to keep it from curling up. Put the bacon strips on a rack in a pan side by side. Do not overlap the strips. Bake the bacon for around 40 minutes, or until the bacon is not limp. Each ovens heat is different. You want the bacon to come out like the texture of ham. Thin bacon in my oven will cooke well around 315 degrees. Thick slab bacon will cook well around 325 degrees. Do not cover the bacon, but if you raise the heat the grease will splatter. For me the 315 - 325 degrees will not splatter. If the bacon shrinks, the heat is too high. If the bacon stays limp, the heat is not high enough. On the rack, the grease will drop away from the bacon. You will get nice straight dry pieces.

Does anyone know how long to cook it? Someone told me about ten minutes. They said to cover it.
