Missing the weekend? Why not bring a little brunch into your weekday? We cooked up some no-mess bacon in the oven using a sheet of our Parchment Paper. Here's the recipe: 1. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet. 2. Simply lay out uncooked bacon on the If You Care Parchment Paper and place in a cold oven. 3. Turn the oven to 400 degrees and place the pan on the lowest rack. 4. Bake for 12-15 minutes (flipping halfway through) or until desires crispness. 5. When finished, remove the pan and place cooked bacon on a paper towel lined plate, then enjoy!
