Although most people cook bacon on the stove or microwave, it can also be cooked to a crisp in a toaster oven. This tool can produce delicious bacon without making the kitchen messy. First of all, you need to place the bacon on a baking sheet. Bake the bacon for 10 to 15 minutes until it reaches the desired level of crispness. You can store the bacon in the refrigerator and warm it up later.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Starting the Cooking Process
Step 1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil
For starters, remove a baking sheet that will fit into the oven. Line the pan with aluminum foil. This will make it easier for you to clean when you're done, because you can throw away the base.
If you don't have foil, buy parchment paper instead
Step 2. Place the bacon straight on the baking sheet
Leave enough distance. Bakons should not touch each other or stack. Lay the bacon on the baking sheet so that it cooks evenly.
Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw bacon
Step 3. Place the baking sheet under the wire in the toaster oven
You'll need to find a pan that will fit into the bottom of the toaster oven. If the liquid drips from the bacon during the cooking process, the pan underneath will catch the liquid. It's easier to clean the pan than it is to clean the bottom of your oven.
Method 2 of 3: Cooking Bacon
Step 1. Set the oven to 205 Celsius
If you don't know how to set the temperature in a toaster oven, read the instructions for use. Let the oven heat up completely before adding the bacon. Usually, the light will turn on or off to indicate that the oven is hot.
Step 2. Cook the bacon for 10 to 15 minutes
Watch the bacon being cooked. This usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes, but thin bacon can cook faster. The bacon will curl and turn crisp just before it's finished cooking.
To make it crispier, cook the bacon longer
Step 3. Remove the bacon from the oven
Once the bacon is done cooking to the desired crispness, remove the bacon from the oven. Place kitchen paper towels on a plate. Remove the bacon with a spatula and transfer to a paper towel. It will absorb the excess oil. Let the bacon sit for a few minutes to cool before eating.
Method 3 of 3: Reheat Your Bacon
Step 1. Save the uneaten bacon for later
If you don't eat all the bacon at once, you can save it for later. Place the bacon in a plastic container, then place the container in the refrigerator.
Step 2. Microwave the bacon for 20 to 30 seconds
The bacon melts easily in the microwave. When you want to eat leftover bacon, place the food on a heatproof plate. Heat for 20 to 30 seconds.
Step 3. Season the bacon with salt and pepper
The taste of the bacon may decrease after storage. If the taste is not delicious, add a little salt and pepper to add flavor.
