“I, Mark Marcus, take Thee Bacon, to be my lawfully wedded joy; to freeze and to thaw; to fry and to drain; to have, hold,  and to eat; in sickness and in health; forsaking all other breakfast-meat products; to purchase when either richer or poorer with either cash, credit cards, or food-stamps; for as long as I remain conscious, from this day forward.  Amen.”

Hello My Fellow Bacon Bearing Barons, 

It should not come as a surprise to you that I am a humble servant of the most perfect food ever known to man; no, not ice-cream although that is a close runner-up.  Of course, I am referring to the only edible product that, by the way I someday wish to marry, known only to we mere mortals as bacon. 

If you love crunchy, crisp bacon, you will be glad to know that there’s a quick way to cook it  without a greasy mess.

Like me, there are a lot of visually impaired people who don’t like cooking bacon on the stove because of the popping grease that often accompanies this labor of love.

So, the next time you feel that deep yearning burning desire to “tare-it-up and then break-it-down with bacon, Baby”, use a microwave instead:

1.
Prepare a microwave-safe dish, preferably glass.

2.
Place several layers of paper towel inside the bottom of the dish.

3.
Lay four uncooked bacon strips across the paper towels being careful to insure that the strips do not go over the edge of the dish.

5.
Place several layers of paper towel over the four strips of bacon.

6.
Cook the bacon in the microwave approximately 4 minutes, on the highest setting (time may vary by microwave).

7.
At the end of the cooking cycle, remove dish from microwave and allow to sit for no less than one minute so that it will cool.

8.
Preferably near a trash bin, for quick and easy disposal, carefully remove the top layer of paper towels from the dish.  Be careful, the bacon may stick a little.

9.
In order to prevent the paper towel from sticking to the meat, promptly remove the bacon from the dish and place it on a plate.  The bacon is now ready to serve.

10.
Just as with the top layer, place the bottom layer of paper towels into a nearby trash bin.

You’ll notice the bacon will be crisp, almost fat free, and delicious.

NOTE:
Always remember to check the bacon as it cooks. It heats quickly and you may need to stop the microwave before the time is up.  Further, never leave your microwave unattended when in use.
