Kitchen & Housewares : Presto 05100 Microwave Bacon Cooker |
- Not worth itI used to use one of these. Save your money by microwaving your bacon like this: lay a couple layers of paper towel on a microwavable plate or platter. Lay the bacon on the paper towel, then cover with at least one layer of paper towel to prevent spattering.
The paper towels absorb the grease. If you like, you can even do additional blotting of the bacon afterwards with paper towel. I feel that this approach eliminates as much grease as using this contraption, and it is easier to clean up afterwards.

- Best thing since sliced bread!I've owned one myself for a while and decided to pull an Oprah, It's one of my favorite kitchen gadgets and all my friends are going home with one!

- Crisp BaconDoes a nice job. The bacon is crisp and the majority of the fat is rendered out. In most microwaves the focus of the radiation is low and in the center of the oven, because of this it takes longer to cook the bacon with the Presto because of its vertical configuration.

- Very good productMakes much better bacon than using a horizontal tray with paper towels. Fat drips off, so bacon is crisp, unlike most microwaved bacon.

- Microwaved bacon with this is inconsistentI've found this product to be so-so. After using it several times, I've concluded that traditional pan fried bacon tastes much better with a more satisfying texture. The best thing I can say about this bacon cooker is that it is a relatively simple process and the bacon doesn't sit in grease at any time while cooking. The results, however, have varied from poor to mediocre so I'll probably stick with pan fried bacon for 5 or less rashers or bake it in the oven when I need lots of rashers at the same time, which has always come out great. Also, this product is less easy to clean than either a fry pan or a baking tray, which are each a single surface. With this, you have to clean 5 separate components.
