Recipe Notes:

– Using a thicker baking pan is important for this recipe because a thin baking pan could warp in the oven causing the grease to spill onto the bottom. A larger lasagne type pan is also a good option to keep the grease from spilling.

– You can make as many bacon twists as you need to. Some packs have less then 12 pieces. In that case just make as many as comes in the pack. Also you can make just a few pieces at a time if needed. A toaster oven is a great option for this.

– Placing the finished bacon twists onto a piece of paper towel helps remove some of the excess grease.

– If you have a hard time twisting the bacon, you can try using a chop stick to tightly twist the bacon around. Then just pull the chop stick out before cooking.

– It’s best to use Parchment paper Not waxed paper. You can also use a baking rack over a baking pan, or a non greased cookie sheet if preferred.

– Transferring the bacon to a fresh piece of parchment paper halfway through baking helps get the bacon extra crispy.
