Cast iron in the oven. 😎

Do you preheat the cast iron?

No.

Put the bacon in the pan, put the pan in the (cold) oven, turn the oven on to 375°F. When it's preheated, keep it at 375 and begin checking every 5 minutes or so. It should be about 75% done when it is done preheating, but your oven may be different.

Damnit, now I want bacon.

I let the cold bacon gently warm up on the heating cast iron skillet to reduce sticking.

Based and correctpilled but a sheet pan works better. Get a heavy gauge cold steel pan and you don't need to fuck with a cast iron skillet.

I've read when using the oven to make bacon, you start it in a cold oven.

This is the way, but a heavy sheet pan works better.
