Someone once asked me: “how long does it take to microwave bacon?” We usually wrap up bacon to go in the oven, right? So how long do we microwave bacon for?
How to Make Easy Homemade Microwave Bacon
So you’ve found your dream microwave – but what if you want to add a little twist to it? Luckily, microwaves now come with a myriad of different cooking features, like convection and a turntable, so you can customize your microwave to your liking. This guide shows you how to make your bacon even easier to microwave with a simple trick that lets you cook it just like you’d cook it on the stove.
The Secret To Storing Bacon
Storing bacon in the refrigerator can cause it to lose flavor and stay juicy. Bacon is stored at a very low temperature, making it necessary to use a low temperature and long cooking method to keep it crisp. Microwaving is a quick cooking method, but it can also make bacon soggy. It’s best to use an oven for cooking bacon, because it can keep the bacon crispy without drying out.
Do You Need to Microwave Bacon?
We have all had the bacon, baked, boiled, or even boiled in the microwave. The jury is still out, however, about whether microwaving bacon is a good idea. Some have said that you shouldn’t be microwaving bacon because it doesn’t cook well and makes it tough, while others have said that it’s a great way to cook bacon because it keeps it from drying out. Many people have also said that microwaving bacon makes it easier to eat and it also eliminates the need to cook it in a pan on the stove. So, while microwaving bacon may be a good alternative to other cooking methods, it’s not a substitute for cooking bacon in a pan on the stove.
How long Should You Microwave Bacon?
Properly cooked bacon should have a nice crispy exterior with a lightly browned, soft, and slightly chewy center. It’s important to cook bacon properly to maintain the best flavor. When cooking bacon, you should wait until the bacon has browned and starts to crisp. If you cook bacon in the microwave, it can be prone to burning. It’s best to use a microwave-safe dish, since bacon can cause other food to overheat. Also, make sure you cook bacon only until the fat has mostly rendered out. Leaving the fat in bacon will help it maintain more of its crispiness. To determine if the bacon is done, you can use a meat thermometer or try slicing the bacon. If the bacon slices are thick, then the bacon is probably done.
Benefits of Microwaving Bacon
With this much energy that can go into something as seemingly unimportant as bacon, you’ll probably want to put the bacon into some sort of container. There are many benefits of microwaving bacon, so here are just a few. You can turn on the oven and let it cook until it’s done. Then you can just pop it into a toaster for a few minutes to finish it off. Or, you can pop the bacon into a bag or container that can be warmed up in the microwave. If you do this, you can also put it into a toaster for a few seconds to get the bacon warm, and then enjoy it while it’s still hot. You can also use a microwave to reheat bacon if you’ve just finished cooking it. In a microwave, the bacon heats up much faster, so you won’t need to let it sit on the stove for as long.
