We precook bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet, but cook about 2 packs worth. It takes about 3 or 4 rotations of laying the strips out on the cookie sheet and baking at around 375° and having the cooked strips drain on paper towels. We have found Costco's in house brand of bacon (which is highly rated by a consumer magazine) is pretty good. Since we are on septic, I use empty coffee ground containers to collect the drained grease from the cookie sheets (if we don't need any added to the mason jar reserve from the fridge for gravy.)

Similar to WD, we cook it in the oven until it's about 90-95% "done", but then we put it in a freezer bag and store it in the freezer. When we want some bacon, we pop it in the microwave on a paper towel for about 30 seconds and dab any extra grease off.
