why does no one make/sell a round bacon press?
what % of frying pans are round?
oops. got all too logical there....
for 2 pipples & coupla' strips each I do in a pan
for one pig fat desperate breakfaster I do between a folded paper towel in the microwqave.
if I've got the griddle out for pancakes, bacon gets done there. saves me bunches of $$ on lightly oiling the griddle (giggle . . . )
done "right" in a microwave, it's tough for me to say it's not as good as any other method. doing it "right" for me means three passes - first on 50% for 60 seconds to "warm it up" - rest for a minute or so - then a second pass at 80% for 2 minutes to 'cook' it - and a rest for about a minute - then the third pass at 100% for 50-80 seconds to make it crisp. doesn't 'especially' brown it, but it does crisp it with pretty much all the fat rendered out.
microwave power, etc., will affect timing and % settings....
