A tip that actually works.

Every couple of weeks I make a batch of blueberry pancakes and a tray of
bacon to go with them. I make the bacon in the oven and can fit about
10 pieces.

I always line the tray with parchment paper. Once cut, it always tries
to roll back up, so, I fold the two sides and it helps,but not perfect.
Then I saw a tip on line that you just crumple up the paper and then
spread it out.

I did just that and it works easier than my folding.

Once cooked, I lay the bacon on a couple of paper towels and roll it up
to keep in the fridge. Take out two pieces when needed, nuke 30 seconds.

When I bake a tray of bacon I put it on top of a slotted broiler pan and
the pan underneath is lined with foil to catch the drippings. No
parchment paper involved.

Sure, but you also have the slotted tray to clean up. I just toss the
parchment paper and the tray is clean as it was when I started.

Yes, I found out parchment paper really requires me to give it a good
wadding to make it behave. I've also seen a tip online to run the
paper under hot water to get it to lie flat, but I haven't tried that
yet.

Thank you Ed, but here's a tip that works even better!

I threaten my parchment with the just wrath of Donald Trump and that
usually makes it stay in place.

I use a silicone tray liner when I cook bacon in the oven, It always
lies flat, and is re-usable.

I must be the last person in the world who cooks bacon in a pan on
the stove. Five slices every Sunday (three for him, two for me);
save the grease for other uses.

No , you're not . I have a large CI frying pan that's just the right
size for 10-12 slices . We buy bacon in 10 lb boxes when it's on sale -
1.49/lb last purchase - I break it up into 2 servings per package and
freeze it .

Last night I cooked some in the air fryer - came out perfectly crisped
at 400 air fried for about four minutes. What was good was that there
was no mess, usually spatters from the CI on to the stove top :(

Nope, you're the last but two. We both cook bacon in a
pan.

Then we eat it hot and juicy and crispy, instead of
cooling it, keeping it in the fridge for a week and
reheating it (shudder)

Now ,about boiled eggs. We just cook as many as we're
about to eat. Then we eat them.

That's how I used to do it - until a friend who ran a B&B in Tasmania,
introduced me to the oven method.

Yes, I asked at a B&B in Cape Breton and that was what she told me.
Maybe I'm too Scottish, but turning the oven on for one serving of
bacon doesn't work with me, the air fryer came a close second though.

The only place I use PP is in my air fryer. An almost perfect
kitchen accessory is like an oversized cupcake paper that fits
the basket bottom. If you don't know what that means, think about
a huge 'Reeses' PB cup wrapper.

The only problem with it is that after some time, the edges fall
inwards and you end up with a central cavity that resembles a
swastika. I'm not sure who I should complain to.

No mess? Dear Lucretia, try looking under the removable bottom.

I had my air fryer for a few weeks before I discovered that, yes,
there is somewhat of a mess down there needing occaisional clean-up.

I have silicone sheets for baking but for some things, e.g. macarons,
I use flat sheets of parchment that I get from Lakeland when I visit
England.

But it's easier than cleaning the entire cooktop and surrounding counter.
