Microwave Bacon Cooker, Should I get One?

It is my day off, and this morning when I woke up I had a craving for bacon.  However, I do not have a craving for a big ole mess, grease popping on my hands, or all that grease.  I don’t care for nuking my bacon on a plate since it really doesn’t get as crisp as I prefer it.  A friend of mine told me about a new product I need to try.  Here is what I found out about it online.

Presto makes a microwave bacon cooker and it goes by the name of: Presto Powercrisp Microwave Bacon Cooker. The particular one that I am talking about is model number 05100.  It fully cooks bacon in approximately 40-90 seconds per slice on the highest setting.  The microwave bacon cooker is fully immersible and dishwasher safe (all parts) sweet!  There is a one year limited warranty on this product.  The cooker comes apart to make it smaller for storage. You can make the bacon as crisp or as floppy as you like, just make sure you fully cook it! I don’t want any of my readers getting sick.  The Presto Powercrisp Microwave Bacon Cooker cooks the bacon in a more healthy way than pan frying. It lets the grease run down into drip tray instead of letting the bacon stay in the pan in the grease which contains the fats.

I would like to get one of these bacon cookers because I think it would be so much easier and faster than pan frying.  Also, I wouldn’t have the hot grease popping up on my hands and fore arms when I am flipping the bacon.  I wouldn’t get small grease spots on my clothing either (sure an apron would help, but I think that’d look rather goofy on me).  I also would not have to clean up the grease that pops out over on my counter and stove.  The instructions say to put a paper towel over it to contain the grease.  This bacon cooker holds ten slices of bacon. It has a wide lip all the way around the bowl so that you can easily handle it. I could cook my eggs on the stove while I am cooking the bacon in the microwave.  I don’t have to do one at time, a quick, easy delicious breakfast. I may even use it to make my own bacon bits.  They would be so much better than those that I get from the grocery store in the little plastic bottles (much fresher).  I wouldn’t even need to dirty another dish.  When you cook it in a frying pan you have to either dump the grease into another pan or get a plate and put a paper towel on it to dry up the grease, I would just leave it on the little racks and have one less dish to wash. 

I think I might have to go purchase one of these right now…
