Cooking Bacon Like Curtis Stone?

This is to all the 'cooks' out there who seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that Curtis Stone's GMC advertisements are really "cooking shows."

News flash: They're not. They are meant as subliminal advertising for GMC products (notice the vehicle in every video) and Curtis Stone is the eye candy that is supposed to bring in the viewers.

Unfortunately, Curtis Stone's video recipes are invariably missing something. Instructions, ingredients, cooking time ... it's a rare "show" that doesn't bring an influx of questions to the site, all of them seeking the same answer. (Today's CS question seems to be about cooking bacon in the oven, instead of on the stovetop.)

For those of you who have already asked, and for those of you yet to come, here's the answer:

Curtis Stone does not respond to questions asked on this site. (We're not even sure if he reads them, but if he does, he certainly doesn't care enough to bother to correct his 'recipes' or to answer individual questions.)

If you have a question for Curtis Stone, please contact him via either of the following: www.curtisstone.com or www.twitter.com/curtisstone.

P.S. Cooking bacon in the oven is not something new. My grandmother did it over 50 years ago ~ well before Curtis Stone was even born. Use your heads, people!

This appears to be the third re-run of the Saga of Curtis Stone and the Oven-Fried Bacon.  Is it going to be Cheesy Biscuits next?

I'm holding out for Turkey Meatballs. With or without egg, of course.

Oh yes, and substituting other meats for the turkey.

How bout--Curtis, can I substitute uncooked oatmeal for the ground turkey?  I'm a vegan, and I think eating birds and animals is disgusting, immoral, and fattening.

You're forgetting the Grilled Cheese sandwich and Nectarine Chutney, Norm. Specifically, "My grocery store doesn't carry Gruyere cheese and I don't like Swiss. Can I use a different kind of cheese?" 

Or, "I don't have any ripe nectarines. Can I just make the grilled cheese sandwich without the chutney?"

Can I switch the ingredients and make a grilled nectarine sandwich with Gruyere chutney?  Can I substitute prunes for the nectarines and Exlax for the Gruyere?

Only if you chop the fruit on a genuine Curtis Stone cutting board, while wearing an "I  Curtis" T-shirt.

I think everybody is cooking with grass here.

Maybe Neta will forward all the great suggestions to CS.

I don't know if I saw bacon done in the oven as a child or stumbled on it myself, but I have been doing it long enuf to forget how it all started.

How long do you cook the bacon in the oven

10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Turn once at halfway point. Depending on how limp or crisp you like your bacon, adjust the time accordingly. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, unless you are blind, in which case have someone else bake it.
