How to cook bacon in the microwave

[Sombeech]

This is my proper method for makin' bacon.

Do you hate the grease splatter left over on the stove surface (or... does your wife hate it?) And don't tell me you're waiting half an hour for the oven to preheat so you can bake your bacon...

1. Get 3 paper towels
2. Get yer bacon, lay them side by side
3. Cover them with 2-3 paper towels
4. Cook in the microwave for @ 45 seconds per slice of bacon.

Example, for these 6 slices, I put them on for about 4 minutes, depending on your preference of crispiness. I'm a softer bacon fellow.

Result: No pan to wash, no grease to scrub off of the stove top, no argument with the spouse approximately 3 days later.

The paper towels absorb most of the grease. For a full pound of bacon, you're probably doing this procedure twice.

My wife uses one of these things to cook bacon. Just put a paper towel over it. Grease drips in the bottom and you can toss the grease out.


The problem with that is then you can't cook your eggs in the bacon fat.
