Mainstays Nonstick 15.5" x 10.5 " Bacon Pan with Baking Rack, Cooking Rack, Copper

I was discussing bacon with a friend and he informed me that he makes his bacon in the oven. But the idea of a grease splattered oven was something I didn't want. I love bacon but hate making it in a frying pan because it splatters all over the stove area. My friend went on to explain that when made in the oven, the bacon doesn't splatter. So when I saw the Mainstays Nonstick Oven Bacon Pan that came with its own rack and is all nonstick I figured I'd give it a try. I preheated the oven to 375 degrees and placed the strips of bacon flat out on the rack, making sure they didn't touch each other. I placed the bacon pan in the oven for 15 minutes (up to 20) and the bacon was perfect. Crisp all over and all the grease had drained into the baking pan. But skeptic that I am, I made half the bacon in a frying pan at the same time. Honestly, the pan-fried bacon looked tastier. Only one way to really compare… Make BLTs. I did and I could not taste any difference between the two methods of cooking. No more frying bacon in a pan on top of the stove, ever. And it's not only for making bacon, but I also made a rack of ribs with the rack/pan combo and oven baked chicken breasts. Because of the non-stick finish, hand washing (as recommended by the manufacturer) is easy.

Excellent job cooking, and crisping the bacon. The rack allows the grease to drip away into the pan. I also made fries, chicken nuggets for my grandkids, and wings for us, and they all came out great. I'm going to make brownies in the pan this week. The clean up is so easy, and that is a definite plus for me. I would not hesitate to recommend this pan to anyone looking for an Oven Bacon Pan, especially one that can be used for other things. Loved it!
