Instructions

  1. Put 2 pieces of kitchen paper on a microwaveable plate and lay 4 slices of bacon on it, making sure that they don't overlap.
  2. Put another 2 pieces of kitchen paper on top of the bacon and then put it in the microwave on high for 4 minutes.

Notes

  • Don't forget to add the paper towels, as this will soak up all the grease.
  • The bacon will get crispier as it cools, so bare this in mind when cooking it.
  • Don't overlap the bacon on the plate. Each slice should be next to each other, and not overlapping.
  • Be careful when taking the plate out of the microwave, as it will be very hot. Use oven gloves or some paper towels to get it out.
  • The key to this recipe is using the best quality bacon that you can.
  • Use bacon slices that are the same size and shape. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
  • Let the bacon rest for a couple of minutes before serving, as this will help it to crisp up.
