I cook bacon in a half sheet pan on a rack with ½" square openings. I line the pan itself with foil. For general eating and sandwiches, I usually buy Burger's Bacon Steak - 7 slices to the pound. I can cook about 12 or 13 slices at a time.

When I do bacon, I will do 4 or 5 pounds, one right after the other, then toss in freezer to use as needed. I also partially cook a pound or two of thin sliced bacon to use when I want to wrap things like filet, scallops, dates or whatever I'm making for appetizers.

I remove the fat after each batch, allow to cool then store in freezer in small Tupperware containers. The bacon fat is great for flavor when cooking things like hash browns, frittata, and the like.

Oh my goodness, you sound like a great cook! I am home with the flu and your ideas are sounding good to me, even though I am sick.

A few strips I use the microwave. I have one of those bacon trays with ridges.

If I am cooking a lot, I put it in the oven then drain it on paper towels. I do not like bacon cooked in a pan, unless its chopped up and I am using it to flavor a stew or something.
