EASY MICROWAVE BACON
Disclaimer: Based on a review, I DO NOT recommend using a paper plate. This is a quick and easy way to get nice crispy/chewy bacon in the microwave. I've been making it this way for years, and thought I would share. This method sure beats the spattered grease mess all over the stove top from pan frying, or having to use the oven in the hot summertime. Enjoy! NOTE: Cooking times will vary according to your microwave, the type of bacon, and your desired level of crispness/ chewiness, so feel free to adjust cooking times as necessary. If this is the first time you use my method, be sure to closely monitor the process and check often.

Steps:
- Note: I DO NOT recommend a paper plate due to danger of fire.
- On a microwave-safe dish (such as a Corelle dinner plate/or 8 x 10-inch Pyrex glass baking dish), lay down 2 sheets (double layer) white paper towels. Place 6 thick slices bacon on the paper towels (not overlapping each other). Cover the bacon slices with 1 sheet of white paper towel.
- Microwave on high for 5 to 6* minutes.
- Rotate dish and microwave on high for about 5 to 6* minutes more (*note: microwave ovens vary, so cooking times may vary; time is for my microwave), or until done to your liking (I like mine crisp). Be careful not to burn the bacon.
- Remove from microwave. Your bacon is ready!
- NOTE: You can use regular slice bacon as well, just reduce cooking time by a minute or two.

Tips:
- Use thick-cut bacon for the best results. It will cook more evenly and have a better texture.
- Place the bacon slices in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate. Overlapping the slices will cause them to cook unevenly.
- Cook the bacon for 2-3 minutes per slice, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Start with the lower cook time and add more time as needed.
- If you want crispy bacon, cook it for a few extra minutes. Just keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
- Let the bacon cool for a few minutes before eating. This will help it to crisp up even more.
Conclusion:
Cooking bacon in the microwave is a quick and easy way to get delicious, crispy bacon. With just a few simple steps, you can have perfectly cooked bacon in no time. So next time you're craving bacon, try cooking it in the microwave. You won't be disappointed!
