The best way to cook bacon is in the oven. the problem, though, is you end up with a greasy cookie sheet which is hard to clean.

Use heavy duty aluminum foil and
use a cookie sheet that has sides on
it. Crimp the foil over the sides. Let
the grease set till cold and carefully
remove the foil and you have a clean
cookie sheet. Always save the bacon
fat, it has a myriad of uses.

Best way to cook bacon: Get great big turkey platter, pile on 25 pounds of sliced potatoes then add at top 5 pounds of bacon.
Place turkey platter Under the grill and let the low heat cook the bacon with the grease automatically drizzling down thru the 25 pounds of potatoes.

As you need bacon...take a few strips from the top to finish off on the grill.
As you need potatoes ... take scoops of them from the bottom, they already have had bacon grease drizzled on to them so just find space on the grill.

Simple.

25# of sliced potatoes will fill a bushel basket.
The size platter you would need is 4' long and
3' across. There's no oven that big.

No, the platter is oval, about three feet long and two feet across.
It does not go into an oven but in the space beneath a commercial grill so its cooked by reflective heat from above and the cooking is slow.

A 6 sq ft turkey platter? That's the story you're
going with? Really?

No, not square. Oval.

You made me laugh, congrats.
An oval platter still has sq ft,
ya know. Sq ft doesn't mean
the thing is square.

??? Oh my, you Doubting Thomases. First of all, this technique was observed by me in a NYC greasy spoon years ago. It worked. I'll admit it may sound weird but it worked for them for years. It was a good. Bacon crisp, potatoes greasy.
