Why You Should ALWAYS Cook Bacon in a Cold Oven! 🥓

The Tipman explains why this method is the absolute best way to cook bacon. By starting your bacon in a cold oven and bringing it up to 400°F (200°C), you unlock a chef trick called rendering. As the oven warms up, the bacon fat melts and essentially deep-fries the meat in its own juices.

Line a baking sheet with non-stick Reynolds wrap for a 15–20 minute bake and an effortless cleanup!
