I prepare my racks exactly the same (I think I even have the exact same racks). I do it at 350F. It takes much longer, however the problem you sometimes run into with doing it at higher temps is that the thinner part of the bacon will be done while the thicker parts aren't. This won't be as much of a problem if your bacon is sliced evenly and the fat content is consistent end to end, but quite often it isn't.

You can also cook bacon in the oven and it will turn out perfectly Major Nikon Feb 2014 #11

That's a good method too. rdharma Feb 2014 #12

That's just always the way I've done it Major Nikon Feb 2014 #13

I suspect there may be more "spattering" without the rack as well. rdharma Feb 2014 #14
