I've got two nice sheet pans w/wire racks tha just fill pne level in my
oven. But, it's a lot of clean up and decanting of rendered fat into a
vessel. So, mostly I use a Nordic Ware round bacon/pizza pan ....

I see that they also offer a spatter cover - I'm going to order one of
those, as well. Save on hustling up newspaper pages to use as covers.

I nuke the bacon for five minutes at full power (I like me salty pig
to be crispy-crunchy) and decant the fat into a waiting vessel. Usually
I'll do three pounds at a time and store the reserves in a long, flat
Tupperware (ish) container to add to sandwiches, salads, etc.
