I cook a lot of bacon — as in about a pound a week. Even though pork prices are slightly lower this year, I still don't have much room in the budget for a bad batch.
My preferred way to prepare our bacon is to cook a large batch in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. When it's done, I'll chop up the fatty meat into bits and store it in the freezer for breakfast omelets.
But when bacon is front and center rather than a mere part of a larger meal, I'm not sure the oven is the best way to go.
To find the best cooking method, I made bacon using my oven, stove, air fryer, and microwave to see which appliance came out on top.
