Chef Tony Healthy Cooking Baking Bacon Pan, Black

Cooks uneven, not real bad but uneven

The Bacon Oven Cooker works like a charm - the bacon turned out and no mess to clean up - I loved it.

This is a fantastic bacon pan if you like your bacon either half raw or half burnt. It’s a great idea but it just doesn’t cook bacon evenly. You’re better off getting a cooling rack and putting it in on a foil-lined pan. That’s how I rescued 12 half strips of uncooked bacon after this bacon pan fiasco.

Takes longer to cook than listed. Typically around 30 minutes after flipping the strips.

So, I always bake my bacon. I can't stand frying it on the stove. When I saw The Baby Guy post about his love for this, I took the plunge. I have to say, it will not fit the whole package of Kirkland bacon (1 package of a three pack to be specific, obviously won't fit a whole three pack). Also won't fit a standard package from the store. It will fit one package of the organic bacon they sell at Costco, or a fancy brand package from the store as well, but it's pricey and I don't always buy those. So, that was disappointing. I also still have to spray it with cooking spray, and still have some pieces stick to the grill part. All in all, not worth it. I can still use a cookie sheet (which also won't fit a whole package in the tray, but if I can't fit a whole package on the special grill tray, what's the point??), and collect the grease that way, and the bacon still comes out crispy.

I had hoped to come and say, 'well this was the bees knees', but alas, no. Great idea... in theory. Works good for some bacon and not so well for others. And, if you are like me and you like turkey bacon? FORGET IT... not happenin, friend. I put aluminum foil in mine because I don't like to clean out the grease which worked well. Actually cleaning the pan when not using foil though was really easy. I used paper towels to get out what I could then cleaned it. Its very non stick for that and I like that. Unfortunately, after giving this a few goes with a few different types of bacon, its in the back of the cabinet. I don't know if I'll pull it back out again or not. I've been cooking bacon in the oven for years. I love it in the oven! But, I do not love this.

Love the concept, love the pans! One thing is that when you have the pan full of bacon, it does take a bit longer to cook the thick pieces, the tops of them are done in about 20 minutes but the underside is still raw-ish and I tend to turn the pieces over half way through and cook for 25-28 minutes. But great, no grease on your stove top, or in your oven. I love it!

This is not the same pan that thebabyguyNYC has. It's a different design, now that I look more closely at the pictures. Although it has 12 slots for bacon, you probably can only cook 6 at a time. You have to leave every other slot empty to allow for air flow. I tried both thick-cut and regular bacon this morning, with filling every slot, and it didn't cook through. I had to transfer it to a flat pan to get it to crisp. I suppose if you like doing lots and lots of dishes, this is great for getting rid of the initial fat, but it's really not worth your time or money.
