Feel the bacon bliss effortlessly with a first-of-its-kind bacon product from HORMEL BLACK LABEL.
Gone are the days when you need to line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to ensure a mess-free bacon cooking. No, you don’t need all of that anymore. You don’t even have to touch the bacon with HORMEL BLACK LABEL’s newest product innovation! I know it sounds kind of crazy, but that’s exactly what you can expect from their new offer that comes with an oven safe tray.
HORMEL BLACK LABEL, a brand under Hormel Foods Corporation, is once again pushing the bacon world forward with its brand-new HORMEL BLACK LABEL OVEN READY Thick Cut Bacon. The patent-pending product eliminates the hassle of preparing bacon in a traditional way. It promises zero mess because there’s no need to touch the meat or bring out the frying pan.
The new product is so simple to use. You just need to place the tray in a pre-heated oven, cook for 20 minutes (or more if you want the bacon crispier), place the strips on a paper-towel lined plate, and throw the tray into the trash. With no complex preparations , the oven safe bacon product lets you skip to the good part: eating premium-quality bacon. Each oven safe tray will give you eight perfectly cooked slices of meat.
According to the senior brand manager of HORMEL BLACK LABEL Bacon, Ally Sill, the new product was launched to make it more convenient for consumers to enjoy the signature flavor of their bacon. The HORMEL BLACK LABEL OVEN READY Thick Cut Bacon is the perfect option for a mess-free breakfast, quick snack, or bacon-topped dishes.
The oven safe bacon is now available in select retail stores nationwide; HORMEL BLACK LABEL plans to expand the reach of this product by 2025.
More Convenience Products from HORMEL BLACK LABEL
There’s actually a lot of convenient ways to enjoy the smoky bacon flavor with the help of HORMEL BLACK LABEL products. The new oven safe bacon is just one option from the brand’s expanding Convenience Bacon Varieties. You could say that HORMEL BLACK LABEL is creating new portable forms of bacon with these products:
- Microwave-ready bacon: For those living in compact homes with no access to a large oven, the HORMEL BLACK LABEL Microwave Ready Bacon is a godsend. You just need to place the bacon packet in the oven then cook the strips for 2-3 minutes or until crisp. Each packet contains 4 slowly smoked and seasoned cuts of meat.
- Bacon bits: When you need the bacon flavor and not the actual strips, grab the HORMEL Real Bacon Bits Jar. It comes with fully cooked bits and a flip top lid. Add as much bacon as you want to soups, salads, casseroles, and other dishes.
- Bacon crumbles: Sometimes you want a different texture for your bacon and when that happens, try the different varieties of bacon crumbles from Hormel. The BLACK LABEL brand has the sweet-smoky variety called Cherywood Real Bacon Crumbles. Definitely a must-try!

From the Club
I have never seen such an inventive bacon product until the oven safe bacon from HORMEL BLACK LABEL was released. It offers pure convenience because you just need to peel, place, and bake. However, I don’t think this is something that I would buy every time I’m craving bacon. I have my ways to ensure mess-free bacon prep already. But overall, it’s a good product for days when you don’t have the energy to clean up!
