Can you microwave bacon?

>> No.7206318

If you have to. Say the power is out because of a blizzard and all you have is an emergency generator that you can plug the microwave into.

By far, my preferred way to cook bacon is in the oven. About 15 minutes at 350 degrees should do it.

You can eat most bacon raw, but you can also microwave it if you want to give it an even less appealing texture.

It's fine to microwave bacon. It's quick, about a minute a slice, and you can two layer it with extra paper towels inbetween. Absorbs the oil, stays flattish, gets crispy with no uneveness if you have a larger microwave with turntable. Small one? Forget it. Won't cook evenly.

#1 method is cast iron, browning plus crisping.

You can microwave anything you can fit in the microwave.
Your cell phone, a 9V battery, a spider and thats only three things!

Are you simple?

>> No.7206476

Wrap it in paper towels, stick it in the microwave for 1 minute per slice.

It'll taste like shit. Unlike stoves and ovens, you're not adding any cooking oils, butter, or any.other ingredients that would impart flavor.

>you have to slather butter on all your food to make it taste good? you disgusting fatty.

Cook some scrambled eggs in the microwave and taste them. I dare you.

On the rare occasions that I microwave bacon, I set the power setting on 5 to give me a little more leeway in checking it.

I always seem to overcook it if it is on high.

Yes it is, that is back bacon.

I used to microwave bacon all the time when I was short on time. Even when I wasn't. That shit still tastes good. Paper towel - Bacon - paper towel and then 2-3 minutes or however crisp you want. Shit's just fine.

I hate these threads though. That's what I suggest using sage to flavor the thread.

My family has always cooked bacon in the microwave. We've got a couple of special trays for it even. I think it's fine, but it may be because I'm used to it. I think oven baking it gives it a better texture and crunch though. Can't say I liked pan fried bacon, but maybe I just did it wrong.
