How To Microwave Bacon
Description
To microwave bacon, place two pieces of paper towel on a microwave-safe plate, arrange slices in a single layer without overlap, then cover with two more paper towels to absorb grease. Microwave on high for around four minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage and bacon thickness.
As the bacon cools briefly after cooking, it crisps further, so it’s wise to monitor to avoid overcooking. Using bacon slices of uniform size helps ensure even cooking results. Handle the hot plate carefully when removing it from the microwave to avoid burns.
Choosing good-quality bacon improves flavor and texture, and rescuing bacon from cooling a couple minutes before serving enhances crispness. This simple method avoids stovetop splatter and requires minimal cleanup while producing well-cooked bacon.
Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon
Instructions
- 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.
- 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
- Always include paper towels above and below the bacon to soak grease and prevent splatter.
- Bacon crisps more as it cools; monitor cooking time to avoid burning.
- Arrange bacon slices so they do not overlap for even cooking.
- Use oven mitts or towels when handling the hot plate post-microwaving to avoid burns.
- Select bacon slices of similar size for even cooking results.
- Let bacon rest a few minutes before serving to achieve better crispness.
