Blind Taste Test: Which Bacon Wins?

All of the bacon was cooked in a 400F oven, starting from cold. Starting in a cold oven helps the fat render slowly and the bacon cook more evenly. 

Cornstarch-coated bacon came out the crispiest because the cornstarch absorbs moisture and forms a light crust. One of my friends actually preferred the uncoated bacon which turned out a little meatier and juicier, so if that’s more your style, skip the coating!

▪️1 lb. Bacon▪️1/4 Cup Cornstarch (optional)▪️

1️⃣ Cover a baking sheet with foil and line it with parchment paper.
2️⃣ For crispier bacon, pour cornstarch onto a large plate and coat both sides of each strip, shaking off any excess. (Skip this step if you prefer your bacon juicy and tender.)
3️⃣ Place the bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (Slight overlap is fine, as the bacon will shrink as it cooks.) Start in a cold oven, then turn the heat to 400F and bake for 30–35 mins, or until the bacon is browned, crisp, and the fat has rendered.
4️⃣ Remove from the oven and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease. Enjoy!
