How Do You Cook Bacon in the Bar Pan?

[nickywsn]

I know I've seen this on here before, but how do you cook bacon in the bar pan? I have my first show Thursday and wanted to try it out before then so I could tell about it. Thanks!

I do it for about 18 minutes at 425. HTH!

It depends on your oven!And it depends on if you like it chewy, crispy or burnt. I know burnt...yuck but my friend loves it that way.

400 degrees for 20 minutes up to a pound.

I just lay it out pretty close together and bake at 400 degrees for 15 -20 mins. I usually make turkey bacon, but reg comes out great too. You an line the pan with parchment paper to help with clean up!!!

Oh yeah, the parchment paper makes all the difference! Cleanup is a breeze I love baking my bacon in this pan; don't have to worry about splatters when you're flipping it.

DO NOT cook withOUT parchment. I did it once and will NEVER do it again. Unless you are tying to season the stone, then it gets lots of fat on it, but clean up is horrible.

I LOVE it with the parchment though!

bacon tip for your shows: when you pull the bacon out of the fridge, make a wave with it (lift lboth sides up then both sides down (like a u, then an n) then like a wave). The pieces will keep thier shape when you pull them apart and will not stretch.

 

[jrstephens]

So, you just cook the whole package without seperating the pieces?

 

[MandyK]

No -- sorry -- you pull apart and cook as ususal. they just don't stretch out when you pull them apart after you ruffle the bag.

 

[jrstephens]

ok. I was getting EXCITED about just being bale to throw it in the ban! ha!

 

[nickywsn]

Thanks!Thanks guys! I knew I could count on you!

I love making bacon in the bar pan - I wouldn't cook it any other way! I never use parchment paper and I don't find it difficult to clean. seperate the pieces and cook!! 425 - for about 15 minutes.

I tell anyone that buys their first stone - to go home an either make bacon or meat loaf and they have a beautifully seasoned stone!

love itI also LOVE baking bacon on my Bar Pan. I usually bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness. I prefer not to use parchment, just because I make a bigger mess getting the parchment off the bar pan (don't ask me how, lol). I just clean my stone with baking soda after I make bacon. Keeps it squeky clean!

 

[chefkristin]

I have to try this!! Sounds easier than making that huge mess on the stovetop!!!!

I've done this too and love the no fuss part of it, but my oven was already dirty. Does this cause splattering in the oven? Also, why do some of you feel it is easier to use parchment paper? I've done it both ways and off the top of my head, I can't see that there was much difference.
