Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Bacon strips
  • 4 sheets Paper towels
  • 1 piece Microwave-safe plate

Directions

Step 1

Place two sheets of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate.

Step 2

Lay the bacon strips side by side on top of the paper towels, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 3

Cover the bacon with the remaining two sheets of paper towels to prevent splatter and help with even cooking.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once cooked, carefully remove the plate from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be hot.

Step 7

Allow the bacon to rest for a minute to cool slightly and to let any remaining oil be absorbed by the paper towels.

Step 8

Transfer the bacon to a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
