How to Cook Bacon for 100

How to cook bacon for 100

For 100 people purchase 9 pounds of bacon

There are several options:

1)Bacon done night before:

Fry bacon on the grill and drain on paper towels.

When drained, layer in a deep pan in layers of foil; refrigerate.

Reheat in morning @ 250 for about 45 minutes, watching so it does not dry out.

2)Bacon done in the morning/in oven

Bake the bacon in the oven in single layers on rimmed sheet pans

(to catch the rendered bacon fat).

Bake @ 400 degrees. If doing multiple trays in same oven, be sure to switch trays for even cooking. Should take about 12-15 minutes total. Be careful to watch during baking to check for doneness.

Transfer cooked bacon to paper towel-lined trays and drain fat.

Keep warm in low ovens until serving. Do not let dry out.

3)Use new pre-cooked bacon and just heat in the morning. Available at Costco and turns out well. (the men do not like is as much as the women)

4)Bacon done the old-fashioned way - just fry it in the morning and drain on paper towels.
