Reply to comment by ImprobableValue in I made damn near perfect bacon today. by JCP5887

I'm genuinely confused isn't every oven a cold oven before preheating?

They put the bacon in when the oven is still cold instead of waiting for it to preheat.

Interesting I never thought it would have an effect on cooking

Edit: thanks for downvoting for trying to learn

It's like putting potatoes in cold water and turning the heat on and not straight into boiling water. They cook more evenly instead of overcooked outside and raw inside.

Bacon, it allows the fat time to render before it gets blasted and crispy.
