Makin’ Bacon
Posted by Prairierose on Nov 10, 2007I love Saturdays. I still get up at the same time as I do weekdays, but the day is mine to do as I please. And often, I will fix breakfast, something I don’t do during the week. The breakfast of choice around here seems to be bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. I drag out my griddle, and it usually takes 30 - 45 minutes to fix the entire breakfast. I cook the bacon first, and then the hashbrowns, and then the eggs. When I was asked to review a microwave bacon cooker, I jumped on it in a heartbeat. It is a new invention. At first glance, it looks like plastic juice pitcher. But upon closer observation, you will discover that it has a paddle-type thing in the middle, where you hang individual slices of bacon. You attach the lid, and lower it down into the pitcher-type-unit, and lock it shut. Pop it into the microwave, for 30 seconds, to 3 minutes, depending on how many pieces you are cooking. Easy-peasy, and quick! I did find that it does better with the thin sliced bacon than it does with the thicker sliced bacon, but its great for both. Its totally enclosed which means no more grease platterings on my counter top, or on my shirt. I have not seen any other unit like this on the market, so I was thrilled that I was able to receive it and try it out. Only, I’ll be doing more than just trying it out. I’ve tried it out, and have used it several times since. Breakfast time was cut in half or more. Great time saver as well.
