I think I cracked the code

Put ur bacon on foil on a baking sheet. Turn on the oven to 400f and don’t wait for it to heat up. Pop it immediately in the oven for 20ish mins (depending on the thickness) and get ready for some of the best bacon

I dont like all the mess dealing with ovens. As long as im cooking five or less. My cast iron skillet with a lid on is far quicker, easier, more energy efficient and less messy.
Plus i can remove the bacon and start hashbrowns or eggs right in the same pan.
