The crispiest way to cook bacon is to cook the bacon in the oven at 400 F on parchment paper.
Bake the bacon in the oven on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and arrange the bacon in a single layer without overlapping then bake the bacon in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until deep golden brown and then drain the bacon on paper towels.
Sprinkling a light dusting of flour on bacon also makes the bacon crispy and flat.
The flour helps bacon get crispy and flat, because the flour absorbs excess grease from the bacon and creates a nice, thin and crunchy coating, which also prevents the bacon from curling up and results in evenly cooked, rigid strips of bacon.
Sprinkling bacon with flour, allows the starch to crisp up while the fat renders, which results in perfectly crunchy bacon without much splatter.
Another good way to get crispy bacon is to use Martha Stewart's preferred bacon cooking method in the oven, which gets nice crispy bacon.
Martha Stewart's preferred method to cook crispy bacon in the oven with baking paper is to use a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
The method of cooking crispy bacon in the oven with a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper is a technique that provides an easy and hands off, mess free consistently crispy result when cooking crispy bacon.
To cook crispy bacon in the oven with baking paper using Martha Stewart's preferred method.
Prep the pan, by lining a rimmed baking sheet with some parchment paper, although aluminum foil also works, but parchment paper is preferred to avoid sticking.
If you want more crispier results, Martha Stewart also suggests that you use a wire rack on top of the lined baking sheet to allow the fat to drip away from the bacon strips.
Next lay the bacon out on the baking sheet and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet or rack and ensure that they don't overlap.
The place the baking sheet and bacon in a preheated oven at 400 F and bake the bacon for around 15 minutes to 18 minutes, or until the bacon is well browned and crisp.
The exact baking time for your bacon, will depend on the thickness of the bacon.
Once the bacon is done, use tongs to transfer the bacon to a plate that is lined with paper towels, to drain out any excess grease.
And as the bacon cools down, the bacon will get a little bit crispier.
