Well, the fact that you don't have as much to clean up makes me think that maybe it isn't as greasy?

I will have to try some....maybe sneak it on a road trip...

well, theres bacon in a box that you throw in the nuke till its hot and consume, then theres bacon you cook from raw in the nuke. the 2nd is messy, stinks up the kitchen and doesnt come out right.

the 1st is bag to bagel BLT in 30 seconds. it aint perfect, but it has a lot of advantages

No. bacon will turn out okay in the micro if you do it right. First cut the bacon in half so you have shorter pieces. Then lay out more paper towels then you know you'll need - say 20 - in a pile and then put the bacon on top on one even layer. You can overlap just slightly as the bacon will shrink - but it will also stick the edges together a little. Then lay a bunch of paper towels on top - maybe 10. Microwave for 1 minute per FULL piece (you cut them in half - don't forget that - if you cut 5 pieces in half to make 10, I'm talking 5 minutes) - but soemtimes that's a tad bit too much so I always take 30 seconds off. That's that. nuke for 30-60 seconds more if it doesn't look done enough. this is for microwaves that rotate. if your's doens't - but a new one!

Frying or baking it is still far better in terms of taste and texture.

So many paper towels, geez! I can see you buying the 24-pack of paper towels from Cosco. "Stocking up? No, I just want to make bacon."

When I cooked the four pounds of bacon last weekend, I wished I had more paper towels. We only had a roll and a half left for the weekend. Bacon was a little greasier than I would have liked.

Use only 1-2 layers of actual paper towels, then put newspaper underneath to absorb the grease.
