Bacon. One of man's greatest inventions.
Behold
Aromatic
Crunchy
Object of my desire
Nibble nibble
Tonight's topic is my brand new microwave bacon crisper. I put this new gadget to the test a few nights ago and had a pretty successful test run.
Basically you drape the bacon on the cooking racks and then all of the grease drips down into the tray.
Load it up! Then cover with a paper towel to reduce splatter. The directions say to microwave on high- one minute for each piece of bacon. I had 12 pieces of bacon so I started off with microwaving it for 10 minutes. By the end of the cooking time there was alot of alarming popping and splattering noises so I didn't cook it longer, but I found that the pieces on the middle rack weren't quite as crispy as I would like so next time I would cook it a little longer. For clean up you can pour the bacon grease out of one of the tray's corners pretty easily. Then wash with soap and water. This would be a real cinch if you have a dishwasher, but I don't so my conclusion is that it's only slightly less messy than just using a regular frying pan. One advantage might be that I could be cooking other things in my frying pans while I am cooking the bacon in the microwave...
Add some tomato
and some lettuce
and enjoy BLTs!
