How to Microwave Bacon

Can you microwave bacon?  Yes and it is so easy to do!  Cooking  bacon in the microwave is quick and the clean  up is  a snap.  This is also a healthy way to cook bacon because the paper towels absorb most of the fat as the bacon cooks.  I microwave bacon whenever a recipe calls for one or two pieces of bacon because it is so easy to do.  It’s also great to microwave bacon for breakfast.   So, let’s get started!

Here is how to microwave bacon

To microwave bacon, put 4 or 5 sheets of paper towels on a microwave safe plate.  Lay 4 or five slices of bacon on the paper towels.

Place another layer of paper towels on top of the bacon and repeat the layers until you have as much bacon as you want to cook, ending with a layer of paper towels on top.  You can actually microwave a lot of bacon at one time this way.

Microwave a few less minutes than the number of bacon slices you are cooking.  For instance, if you microwaving 6 slices of bacon, then set the microwave for 4 minutes and then check, adding  an extra minute or two as needed.  If you are microwaving thick sliced bacon, you will have to microwave longer.
