Progressive Microwave Grill - P15

We all love bacon, right?

So I’m a Southerner by birth - a true Son of the South - and I grew up with that container of bacon fat next to the stove. Bacon was a staple in our house, cooked in a skillet, from which the bacon fat was poured into that container. But my Yankee wife and age have made me more health conscious: less fat is better, and skillet frying in the resulting “bath-tub” of bacon fat has become less desirable... and blotting up all that fat after cooking is just a pain.

SO microwave cookery has become the more effective way to cook bacon: layering uncooked strips between paper towels and cooking 1 minute per slice - depending upon your microwave oven power - has become our preferred method. The paper towel wicks away the excess bacon fat, leaving you with beautiful crispy bacon slices in half the time (unattended) that it takes (attended) to cook bacon on the stove. And microwave cooking is the best solution for turkey bacon, too. But the last issue is: what to use to hold all those slices and the paper towels that absorb the rendered fat, without making a mess of your microwave oven. We tried paper plates, but the bacon grease leaked all over the floor of the microwave... YUCK! To resolve that issue, you need the right microwave oven cooking tool.
