If I want the bacon to be softer, like for sandwiches with tomatoes and lettuce, I often use a lower power. If I want it crispy for whatever reason I cook it on full power. I never use the precooked bacon or turkey bacon unless I am having company who uses it at home and I know their preference to do so.

My microwave is 1200 watts. Often, I find it does better on, say, 60%. The precooked bacon does ok at full power, because it is such a short time. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Pamela Fairchild via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2020 12:52 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Cooking bacon in the microwave I cook bacon in the microwave all the time. Each microwave oven is different though and it takes some experimentation to figure out exactly how much time to cook it in yours. You have two problems, how long your oven takes and how thinly or thickly sliced your bacon is. A third factor is your own individual taste for bacon. Some like it so crisp it is starting to burn just a little. Others like it still limp but just cooked through. Most people like it somewhere between the two states. Try a couple pieces for 2 minutes. Was it done enough? Was it burnt? Did it need more cooking? Act accordingly to find out what changes to make. Good luck.
