Everybody loves bacon. Crisp, tasty and the perfect accoutrement to any breakfast meal, bacon is one of the number one consumed meats any time of the day. One thing many people hate though, is cooking bacon. Frying bacon is greasy, messy and takes forever. Fortunately, it is possible to microwave bacon to perfection in a matter of minutes with very little mess and fuss.
Microwaves have become a common appliance in many kitchens, and many people are using them to cook foods you would not normally imagine being cooked in a microwave oven. Most people would not consider that you would be able to microwave bacon, but indeed you can and it makes a bacon that is almost more delicious than that cooked in a frying pan!
There are certain steps that you must take in order to microwave bacon successfully. These few simple steps will help to ensure that your bacon comes out crisp and cooked properly and also helps to prevent your microwave from becoming a greasy mess.
To cook your microwave bacon, you will at least need a microwave safe plate and microwave safe paper towels. Place 1-2 paper towels on the plate and then lay your bacon on the towel. You do not want to cook too much bacon at once, or it will not cook properly. For best results, you should only cook 6-8 slices of bacon on the plate at the time or less if the plate is small. Your bacon should be spaced and not touching on the plate for best results.
You should then layer 1-2 more paper towels over top of the bacon and then place the plate in the microwave. This step is critical because it makes all the difference in how well your bacon cooks and how messy the endeavor will be. Microwave bacon for about 5 minutes, stopping about halfway through to check the bacon. If your microwave does not have a turntable, you should rotate the plate at this point so the bacon cooks evenly. Once your bacon is done, let it stand for about 3 minutes and then remove it from the plate and serve.
You can also purchase a microwave bacon tray, which is specially designed to cook bacon in the microwave. These trays are rather inexpensive and making cooking microwave bacon a breeze!
