Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Bacon strips
- 4 sheets Paper towels
- 1 piece Microwave-safe plate
Instructions
Place two sheets of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate.
Lay the bacon strips side by side on top of the paper towels, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cover the bacon with the remaining two sheets of paper towels to prevent splatter and help with even cooking.
Place the plate in the microwave. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the microwave's power, but start with setting your microwave to high power for 3 to 4 minutes.
Carefully check the bacon after the initial cooking time. If desired crispiness is not achieved, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, checking after each interval, until the bacon is crispy to your preference.
Once cooked, carefully remove the plate from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Allow the bacon to rest for a minute to cool slightly and to let any remaining oil be absorbed by the paper towels.
Transfer the bacon to a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
