This clever tip from America's Test Kitchen uses a simple, homemade aluminum foil rack to elevate bacon in the oven. This method allows grease to drip away, resulting in perfectly crispy, non-soggy strips and making cleanup incredibly easy.

Create a makeshift rack by folding aluminum foil into an accordion shape and place it on a baking sheet. → Lay bacon strips across the foil rack. → Bake at 400°F for 5-6 minutes, rotate the pan, then continue baking until crisp. → Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain before serving.

Analyzing cooking steps...
This foil rack method elevates the bacon, preventing it from sitting and cooking in its own grease, which results in crispier strips.
The rendered grease collects in the valleys of the foil, making cleanup significantly easier. Simply let the grease cool and solidify, then discard the foil.
This technique is excellent for cooking a large batch of bacon at once without the mess of stovetop splattering.
