I had a chat some time back with a local producer of pork and bacon: they said they only sell cooked ham (because that is where most of the demand is), but some of their customers buy their dry-cured bacon and just thinly slice it for raw ham. I must admit though I've never thought of cooking bacon in a microwave. Given how little time it takes to cook anyway I can't see it will save much time or energy, but does it really brown and crisp up? |

Yes, it can if it gets hot enough. That's why they sell special plates for things like pizza which are designed to get very hot and crisp the pizza base. The original suggestion didn't include any special instructions though which is why I was asking: there isn't much point in floppy uncrisped bacon. I've also seen it recommended to do crackling in the microwave, but the only time I tried I got a soggy mess. And for more microwave fun: http://www.pmichaud.com/grape/ |
