Amazon.com Review: Bacon is excellent with Sunday brunch fixings or on a turkey club sandwich, but many don’t cook it often at home because of the high fat content and the mess. The PowerCrisp just may change all that by providing a leaner and cleaner way to make bacon. This microwave bacon cooker cooks bacon either to a crisp or a soft consistency, depending on how much cooking time it’s given it in the microwave. It has a pair of tent-shaped plastic racks that are easy to load by simply draping strips of bacon over them. The racks rest within a 2-inch-deep tray, which collects all the fat drippings as bacon cooks so the meat is not sitting in its own grease as with stovetop frying. And, as opposed to pan-frying, there is no splatter involved when cooking bacon in the microwave. Simply place a paper towel over the racks and it captures any grease and keeps microwave walls clean. The wraparound handle makes it easy to remove the PowerCrisp from a microwave turntable and dispose of hot drippings without burning hands. Slotted tops on the two plastic racks allow you to slide a knife through the racks to remove cooked bacon. The PowerCrisp cooks up to 10 strips of bacon at a time and both racks and the bottom tray are completely dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Presto covers this microwave bacon cooker under a two-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

The Presto microwave back cooker is the best bacon cooker I have ever used. I have one for my house and one for my travel trailer. Thanks
Rating: - Works great!
Works like a charm. I did notice that the thinner bacon cooks better than the thick but that may be due to the fact I've only used it twice so haven't got "feel" of it yet. I do like the fact that it drains the grease as you cook so your bacon isn't getting deep fried......a real plus. All in all a handy kitchen tool to have.

OK, I love my bacon. I think everybody knows that.
I've owned a number of microwave bacon cookers over the years always in search of the latest advances in bacon technology.
Back in the day, mama always fried bacon in a pan and would pour the grease in a used can of Crisco and put it in the fridge until it got full, and then would throw it away.
Growing up during the 1960's I remember seeing the greatest advancement ever in bacon technology on the Merv Griffen Show. A representative from G.E. was on the show and demonstrated one the first microwave ovens. ... Read More

Presto 05100 Microwave Bacon Cooker
The product makes the bacon tough. If you like your bacon undercooked it might be ok, but don't expect crisp bacon.

It does a really nice job. We used to microwave it on a plate and cover with a paper towel. This does a much better job with far less mess
