Bacon is meat candy.

[Snowflake]

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:

"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?
