Cooking your bacon in the oven instead of on top of the stove saves you a lot of splattering mess. I love bacon so I made the sacrifice and cooked it on the stove for years in spite of the greasy mess. The stove was a big greasy mess, I was a greasy mess, and always had to use an old shirt to fry it because it was inevitable it would be splattered on, and my hair would smell like bacon so a shower was the next step after cooking our beloved bacon. I’m so happy to tell you that you will not get the splatter mess in the oven because the grease stays put in the baking tray.  Now I can cook bacon anytime I want to without all the mess and just the good taste of bacon!!
