Okay,Okay, I know this post is a bit weird, but a friend asked me how I got our bacon so crisp and in straight strips. I started to tell her & she stopped me & said just put it on your blog so that everyone can see not just me. I promised her so here I am~
I first must give credit where credit is due and this one goes to my husband! We were making bacon up to twice a day as that was all one of my angels wanted to eat. We started makin' it on a dinner plate but gosh the plates would get so hot and the drippings would no drain very well. I went in search of something in which to use and came back with this, I found it at Bed bath & Beyond. It is indeed a bacon maker, but I am sure they never thought it would be used like this. Oh and yes that is clean, it is just a very well seasoned bacon maker~
You will need about 4 sheets of parchment paper the approximate size of the bacon maker~
Lay one sheet of parchment paper on the bacon maker~
And start layering your bacon. Each package of bacon comes with about 14-15 slices~
Continue to layer until you have placed all the bacon in rows and layers~
I have 3 rows of bacon here lined up nice & neat~ Excuse the counter tops I hate them,, they will not stay clean stupid grout lines who ever thought to lay tile in a kitchen should have their heads checked! RIGHT?
Sorry about that, I needed to get that off my chest! Okay, now on to makin' bacon. Cut the edges off to about the size of the maker allow for some shrinkage~
Place in microwave for approx. 11 minutes or until your bacon looks brown & crisp. Remove from micro, but be careful it is hot your will need some pot holders. I wished I would have takin' a picture of the little rubber coasters I use because fabric pot holders get so greasy. Drain the extra grease~
Now you are left with the best, crispiest bacon you have ever made. YUM~
Doesn't it make your mouth water? It looks so good. Okay, I need to close this post because I really do need to make bacon this morning~
Have a GREAT day~
