Bake, don't fry:

5 Reasons why oven bacon is better bacon.

1. It's easy!! If you can open a package of bacon and lay it out flat, you can make oven bacon.

2. It's safer! The cooking is done in a contained oven instead of on your stove top, so there is no grease splattering all over your kitchen.

3. It's hands-off! Oven bacon doesn't need to be flipped or rotated, leaving you free to prep something else.

4. Clean-up is faster! Let the pan cool, then wipe out the grease and wash the pan. No more cleaning your entire cooktop just to enjoy some bacon.

5. It allows for seasoning your bacon! Since the bacon isn't flipped, you can add in herbs and spices to take your bacon up another level. Spicy, savory, or sweet, it's up to you!
