Idiots we may be by judging by the massive selection of such books there's a hell of a lot of 'idiots' about.
Oh and before you say anything else I'm pretty good in the kitchen. And that's WITHOUT using a microwave. -

Re: Is it wise to microwave bacon?Yeesh, most of you people have seriously never microwaved bacon? It's literally the only way my family does it, and it makes bacon a lot crispier and less greasy...which is a good thing, in my opinion.
What to do:
We have this grease-catcher-thing. I honestly don't know the official name. It's basically like a plate, but with raised parallel lines all across it. It looks a lot like the second product on the link htlcy posted, but it's shaped a little differently.
Put two paper towels on top of the grease-cather-thing.
Put as many bacon slices as you can on top of that without overlapping them (number varies based on size of bacon slices).
Put two more layers of paper towels on top of that.
Microwave for at least 2 minutes, check the bacon and either take out or microwave more. Voila!
You have some bomb-ass tasting bacon. -

Re: Is it wise to microwave bacon?YES! It tastes lovely. Weatherspoons microwave their bacon along with most other big chain pub's that offer breakfasts. Just make sure you do it in a special dish, you can buy the dishes cheaply at matalan . They also do lots of other dishes for example ones that you can microwave a fried egg in. It's also healthier than frying it as all the fat drips of. Happy munchies

Re: Is it wise to microwave bacon?I microwave bacon often, mainly due to the short time, convenience, and limited washing up. I can't really say I notice much of a difference from fried bacon (to be fair my entire family is notoriously crap at bacon frying) although I do much prefer the grilled variety given the choice. I certainly hope it's safe!
Bacon is bacon. You'd be hard pressed to make it taste bad.
