How do I cook bacon without my whole apartment smelling like grease for a day

Lower the heat so you don't get grease splattering everywhere

i only do it this way. keeps the grease contained and i can just put it in and go do something else for 20 mins without having to make sure there isn't a grease fire

Do you have a balcony or a garden? I have a portable induction top and I cook the smelliest and grease-spatteriest stuff on a terrace in front of my dining room.

I usually put it into the oven. I'm too lazy to clean up after sautéing it.

Imagine living in a McDuplex without a proper range hood vent to the point where some anon is literally frying up bacon on his balcony.

Either bake it in the oven or use a splatter guard and clean up after yourself instead of being a disgusting pig.

Your apartment might be utter crap for ventilation, and nothing will really fix that except to open a window while cooking, and cook on a lower heat with less splatter and driven off food particles.

Cook it in the microwave, on paper towels, and don't be cheap about using the minimum or it'll spatter grease on all sides inside the microwave and require extensive cleanup. I'd say for 5 pieces of thick cut bacon, you're going to use 4 layers under the bacon, and 6 layers above it. It need to catch all of the oil. You can add a second layer of bacon on top of the first layer separated by 3 or so paper towels, if needed. The paper towels go into the trash, and the trash is removed from the apartment and taken outside before you leave for the day.
If you cook it on the stove, use a higher sided pan or pot to keep splatters down, and turn down the heat to medium. You have to deal with hot oil before it cools to get rid of it into a sealed container or into the trash, or else park your pan in the oven to deal with later when congealed and cool. Ovens are surprisingly airtight when items are cooling. Clean all countertop and range surfaces, clean any dishes that touched bacon as well. Clean the pan by wiping out the grease into the garbage or a container with papertowels (I like to pour it onto newspapers or brown paper grocery bags on top of the trash, ie right into the trash and just be done with it immediately).
Try making bacon in batches the night before and keeping it in a ziploc if that gives you time to clean up when you're not in a rush. And, just crumbling it into hot foods like an omelet or quiche, and having that warmed instead of making it to order all the time. I often make bacon ahead if I'm packing a BLT for lunch.
Try switching brands of bacon. There's a lot of watery filler added to many brands, and maybe excessive fake smoke.

best answer wow

Turn on the fan over your oven to suck out all the steam and smoke as you cook it. Open all windows and doors and turn a few ceiling or standing fans on to help circulate the air for about an hour after you're done.
