Microwave? Broiler? Fryer?

Cast iron skillet! However, I’m a big believer that bacon should go in a cold over set to 400°, that’s great bacon!

375 - 400 in the oven 100%

Find a wide parchment paper and use that as a liner for your baking tray.

After transferring the bacon to paper towels, leave the leftover grease as is in the parchment paper. When it solidifies after a few hours, fold the parchment paper and toss in the trash.

No mess clean up.

I've been using an Insta-pot Air Fryer oven. Air Fry at 350 for 6-7 minutes. But I put it in before it warms up since I always get busy cooking something else. It might actually be another couple minutes. Also, I can only do 4-5 pieces at a time.

Being able to only do 4-5 pieces of bacon at a time is what is SAVING YOUR LIFE. It's bad enough that I can think "man, I would love some bacon" and literally have some freshly cooked and in my mouth in under 10 minutes, 15 if you need to run out and buy some first.

If you could do that AND make massive quantities of it? That's just asking for trouble.

It's been really convenient to be able to make a few quick pieces of bacon in the morning. Especially with 3 young kids. Meanwhile, we can use the stovetop uninterrupted for eggs, corned beef hash, grits, or whatever else we got going.
