How can I microwave bacon?
Although there are now microwave bacon cookers on the market, there really is no need to open your purse strings and purchase one. Your microwave is already capable of doing the job without much assistance.
Firstly you'll need to grab some kitchen towel and line the rashers of bacon on it - you can probably fit 4-6 pieces onto it at a time. When you're satisfied put another layer of kitchen paper on top and cook on full power.
If you manage to get six rashers on the paper towel this will take roughly 5 minutes to cook depending on the wattage of your microwave oven. I find it best to cook the bacon for two minutes and then in 1 minute intervals thereafter, until you fell satisfied it has cooked properly.
A nice good housekeeping tip to stop the bacon from curling during the cooking process is to lightly score it before commencing.
How can I microwave bacon which has already been cooked?
Have you ever noticed how bacon can go quite brittle and chewy when re-heating it in the microwave? You have? Well the reason for this phenomenon is down to water molecules - which are naturally contained the bacon - evaporating. Therefore in order to stop this from happening you need to fight fire with fire, or even water with water in this occasion.
What you need to do here is get yourself a small plate, put your bacon onto it, add two tablespoons of water, cover with plastic wrapping film and microwave until you're satisfied it is hot enough. Finally, remove from microwave oven place the bacon on a clean plate (when doing so you'll notice the bacon has kept its form) and serve.
This good housekeeping trick with work for sausages too.
