Hi, I have been cooking bacon in the oven -- especially when I need to prepare a lot of bacon for a large group -- for a long time. It doesn't seem to make an unusual mess in the oven, BUT BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT! Use thick, protective oven mits, and do it slowly.
A few months ago, I made a big pan of bacon in the oven -- I used the broiler pan, which is quite shallow. I was not careful as I removed the pan, and I ended up splashing bacon grease on my hand. It was a very unpleasant experience!
