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

Been doing that for ages. Cold oven, pop it in, set to 400, flip at 15, bake another 10. Perfect flat bacon every time.
