Frying or baking produces the best crispy bacon. 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.

Randy, they sell microwavable bacon dishes where you put each indevigial slices in I want to say slot looking thingys. 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: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Randy Tijerina Sent: July-21-12 11:06 PM To: Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org 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 Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
