The Easiest Way To Cook Bacon

I assumed that everyone cooked bacon this way,

 but I was wrong. We were talking 'bacon' at tennis

 this morning during our warm-up because one of

 the girls mentioned how much she and her family

 liked my Marshall Fields Special sandwich, even 

though frying bacon was such a mess. 

You fry bacon? Sooo much easier to microwave it.

Everyone had questions.

No one else on the court had ever done that. 

Does it get crisp? Yes! 

Here we go! 

 I prefer Oscar Mayer bacon. Layer 2 paper towels
on a (microwave-safe) dinner plate. 

 Lay on the bacon. 2 strips per person works
for us...breakfast or a BLT lunch sandwich.

 Cover the bacon with another paper towel.

Microwave 30 seconds less (in minutes) than the
number of bacon strips. For 4 strips it's 3-1/2
minutes, 6 strips would be 5-1/2". That what
works for me. The first time you do this check
about 30 seconds before it's done to see if it
 still needs more time. Microwaves vary.

 Golden brown and crisp! No over-cooked centers
 and fatty ruffles on the ends that you get
 when frying. No watching, turning or grease!

Look at that! No floppy bacon! You can have bacon

anytime now. That's a good thing. 

Now lets make a sandwich.

Enjoy!
