• Ready In: 4mins
• Ingredients: 2
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 2 slices bacon
• salt and pepper (to taste optional)

directions

1. MICROWAVE - Put a layer of kitchen paper on a microwave proof plate and top with the bacon slices and place another layer of kitchen paper on top and cook in microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
2. FRYPAN - Place bacon in a cold frying pan and turn the heat on and cook until crisp (by placing in a cold pan ensures that the fat renders out while the pan is warming, therefore there is no need for oil). Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Whoever would have guessed that microwaving bacon would produce such great results?!!!<br/>Wonderfully easy with little to clean up afterwards.....now I can have bacon sandwiches even when I'm running late ( which is often!!).<br/>Thanks Pat...for a fabulous eye opener!!<br/>Made for 123 Hits.

II used the microwave method - and please tell me exactly why did I not try this sooner??? WOW was this easy. And no mess! Had thick sliced bacon so I cut it in half to cook a little faster and it was done perfectly in 5 minutes. Probably the only way I will cook bacon into the future. THANKS for posting, Pat :)

The timing was perfect. I always am guessing about how long I should microwave bacon.

Yummy...I always cook my bacon in the microwave...but never really knew how long they should be in there...thanks for the info...I cooked 4 slices of thick applewood bacon and they took exactly 6 minutes to be at perfection...:)

I needed a quick recipe to cook some bacon for a recipe. I used the microwave method so that I wouldn't heat up the house. I increased the bacon to six slices and increased the time to 5 minutes. This method worked like a charm. Thanks.
