can it be any kind of bacon or just the kind that is microwave friendly - you know the kind that says its for cooking in the microwave.RaggedyAunt said:Oh, and you can do it in the microwave, too, using the medium bar pan (if it fits). I start at about 4 minutes and check it after that. I always put a piece of parchment paper on top, too, to control grease splatters. The small bar pan would work, too, but it obviously wouldn't hold much.

Did you notice a transfer of flavor from the grease the next time you used your pan?
That's what I do too!DebbieJ said:I've done it without parchment, too. Still works. I let the pan cool and the grease firms up and I just scrape it out with a nylon pan scraper.
I bake at 400 for about 25 mins. Just cook it long enough to your desired crispness.
kaseydee said:I haven't noticed transfer either. Deb said she lets her grease firm up & then scrap it - I had said earlier that I use my grease for later & I pour it up pretty much right after I take it out of the oven.

Yes, you can absolutely cook bacon in the Bar Pan from Pampered Chef! It is one of our favorite ways to cook bacon because it comes out perfectly crispy every time.
To arrange the bacon in the Bar Pan, simply lay the strips side by side, making sure they don't overlap. You can fit about 10-12 slices in one Bar Pan depending on the size of your bacon and Bar Pan.
No, preheating the Bar Pan is not necessary when cooking bacon. Simply place the bacon in the Bar Pan and put it in the oven to cook.
The cook time for bacon in the Bar Pan will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and your desired level of crispiness. We recommend starting with 15 minutes in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven and adjusting the time as needed.
Cleaning the Bar Pan after cooking bacon is simple. You can either hand wash it with warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher. If there is any stuck on residue, we recommend soaking the Bar Pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
