In the past, I have also used the 2-piece broiling pan that came with my oven, but a whole package of bacon doesn't fit on 1 broiling pan, so I use the 2 baking sheets. Place bacon on the baking rack. Bake in the oven for 22 minutes or until desired crispiness.

I have a grandmother who would never dream of buying containers to store leftovers or food for the freezer. I use recycled jars to store baking goods (those blue Ball jars were a yard sale find), leftovers, matches, Q-tips, cotton balls, and office supplies. They can be used for storing anything and not just in the kitchen.
