Preparation: Start by cleaning your microwave to remove any residual smells or particles. This ensures your bacon tastes as it should.
Select the Right Dish: Use a microwave-safe dish that’s big enough to hold your bacon slices in a single layer without overcrowding them.
Reducing Mess: Double-layer paper towels both under and over your bacon slices to absorb excess grease and prevent splatters, keeping your microwave clean.
Microwave Settings: Utilize the 'bacon' setting if available. If not, cook on high power, adjusting the time based on bacon thickness and microwave wattage.
Check Doneness: Microwave powers vary, so check your bacon once the initial cooking time is up to ensure it’s cooked to your preference.
Resting: After cooking, allow the bacon to rest on the paper towels for a minute to cool and crisp up further without overcooking.
Serving: Optionally, pat the cooked bacon with another paper towel to remove surface grease before serving for a cleaner taste and appearance.
