A friend taught me years ago that there are two basic ways to prepare bacon -- cooking it and frying it. To make the classic bacon that is crisp and not rubbery or dry, you have to fry it, which means cooking bacon in bacon fat. Unfortunately this is mutually exclusive with keeping it grease free, so it's difficult to do in a microwave.

I do mine in a microwave on one of those slot thingys. It does what it says ... allows the fat to drain off the bacon. Cooking with paper towels does the same thing, but you get more fat. The key is timing. The standard time is a minute per slice. It depends on how thick the bacon is and whether you like it chewy or crisp. There is a short window between crisp and burned.

Apparently the grease drains under the bacon. I've seen this but never used it. I microwave bacon on a plate with paper towells under the slices and on top. Works well for me. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Randy Tijerina Sent: July-21-12 11:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave Gang, Randy here. My first question. I'd like to know how to cook bacon in the microwave? I want it nice and crispy but microwave as we know tends to be a bit dry. How can i make it taste like it came off the pan but without all that grease? Randy who loves bacon! _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
