I cook my bacon using the oven but always use the broiler rather than the oven settings. I like to keep the bacon elevated from the fat to keep it a little less greasy. I have never been too fond of the greasy odor that seems to permeate the air endlessly after preparing it and have found that this is resolved much more easily using the broiler. Generally I would get my bacon from the deli counter rather than those plastic package with the window. Better quality, the price really is not so bad and they cut the thickness to your liking. Regardless, I do not have it very often though this time of year with the fresh tomatoes from the farmers market. I just love BLTs, to me there simply could not be a better combination than a fresh juicy slice of tomato, crisp bacon, crisp lettuce on a nicely toasted bread.
