Possibly dumb question

Can you microwave bacon? I'm clueless about this because I absolutely hated bacon before I got pregnant.

you can buy micriwable bacon, its by the real stuff you have to cook on the stove, its in a box!!!

ruffle&rust

Yes you can.

Yes, but it helps if you have a special microwave tray for it.  They sell them at Walmart and makes it much easier and safer.

Be careful and watch the bacon if you don't have a microwave tray.   I've had fatty bacon that was touching each other catch on fire in the microwave.  The rendering fat gets really hot, so don't microwave it on something that could melt.

i think if you have a "bacon cooker" you can cook it in the microwave. thats how my grammy does it.

Thanks! We bought some yesterday while grocery shopping, and I was hoping I could just pop it in the microwave. I guess I'll have to use the stove!?

They sell stuff that is advertised to be microwaved, but the good old fashioned "regular" bacon comes out just as good. Just be sure to cover it with paper towel to absorb the grease.

Yes, you can cook it in the microwave.  I usually seperate a few between paper towels to absorb some of the fat.  My microwave even has a cooking option for bacon, so yours might as well.

we have one of those goofy trays from walmart we use to cook our bacon on. There are directions on most packages for time length (Either that or it came with the tray thingie) and the tray catches alot of the grease from the bacon. It doesn't taste quite the same but its not bad.

 

but you can for sure cook bacon in the microwave.

Agree I cook bacon in microwave just put between papertowls on a plate and watch kind of close if you don't have a bacon button because it can easly burn.
