Cooking bacon in a Tovala oven is an effortless and convenient way to achieve perfectly cooked, crispy bacon every time. Whether you prefer chewy or crispy bacon, this guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions and tips to ensure a delicious and satisfying experience.
Ingredients
- 4-6 slices of bacon
Equipment
- Tovala oven
- Tovala tray
- Baking sheet
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your Tovala oven to 425°F (218°C). This high temperature will help render the bacon fat and create crispy bacon.
2. Prepare the Bacon
Remove the bacon slices from the packaging and separate them. If desired, you can cut the bacon into smaller pieces for easier cooking.
3. Arrange the Bacon
Place the bacon slices on the Tovala tray in a single layer. Do not overlap the slices, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
4. Insert the Tray
Carefully insert the Tovala tray into the oven. Make sure the tray is securely positioned and does not touch the walls of the oven.
5. Cook the Bacon
Cook the bacon for 10-12 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. For chewy bacon, cook for 10 minutes. For crispy bacon, cook for 12 minutes.
6. Check the Bacon
After 10 minutes, open the oven door and check the bacon. If it is not cooked to your liking, continue cooking for 1-2 minutes at a time until it reaches the desired texture.
7. Remove and Drain
Once the bacon is cooked, carefully remove the Tovala tray from the oven. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain any excess grease.
Tips for Cooking Bacon in Tovala Oven
- For crispier bacon, cook it for a longer period of time.
- If your bacon is too thin, it may cook faster than the recommended time. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- If your bacon is too thick, it may take longer to cook. Increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes at a time until it reaches the desired texture.
- To prevent smoke, place a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any dripping grease.
- If you prefer to cook your bacon in a skillet, you can use the Tovala oven to heat up the skillet. Simply preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and place the skillet on the Tovala tray. Once the skillet is hot, add the bacon and cook according to the package directions.
