I'm still not looking at this thread. Especially not at the Bacon Pancakes which I obviously missed last time I looked....

I'm hosting a last minute breakfast party on Sunday for 8-10 people. I bought 6 lbs of bacon, will it be enough?

Help, how do I cook it in the oven? On a sheet pan?

From my favorite cookbook, Staff Meals from Chanterelle by David Waltuck:

Quote:

"When restaurants use bacon, they generally need to cook a lot of it. Instead of frying it in a pan on top of the stove, professional cooks lay the bacon strips in a sheet pan (you could also use a rimmed baking sheet, such as a jelly-roll pan) and bake in a preheated 350 oven until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels before using. The bacon strips will curl up very little, if at all; they usually come out good and flat, which makes them easier to use."

And while we're on the subject, how about a post-Bastille Day Aioli BLT?

Oh, you two, don't tempt me !!

Let me see... if I were to cook 6 lbs of bacon, mmm that'd be 2.7 Kilos, Yep - I reckon it'd last us at least a couple of days.

(Or about half an hour in a packed Yosemite lodge...)

Yes, a sheet pan is easiest for large quantities, IMO. (Heck, I even use it for just Jason and me.)

If you like curly bacon, you can always take foil and make ridges for your bacon to sit upon.

However, I am persnickety and like to flip my bacon over so it gets even crispiness, so the foil thing gets annoying to me.

agreed. also the nice thing about makin' bacon in the oven is you can treat it to some very interesting add ons. from as simple as freshly ground pepper to a light glaze of maple syrup, garlic powder etc. something youre hard pressed to do in a fry pan

I put mine on a non-stick baking cooling rack in the sheet pan - that keeps it out of the fat while it cooks.
