Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 05100 Microwave Bacon Cooker
Customer Review: A Dream Come True!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot stand frying bacon. I have in the past baked it in the toaster oven. But it is messy and takes too long. And heck-I'm trying to get my bread toasted too. After reading the reviews for this product I went ahead and bought it. It works! Some people may not enjoy the taste because it isn't pan fried. I'll tell you why: Because it isn't soaked in grease :(I'm sad too. But hey! Use the bacon grease that drips into the pan for your fried rice!!!!!! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Please note it will take a few tries to perfect the level of crispiness of your bacon. And the thickness of the bacon matters too. I used the bacon that I made too crispy as bacon bits for my salad. Now I'm making BLTs like crazy.
Description of Presto 05100 Microwave Bacon Cooker
Cooks lighter, leaner and healthier than pan fired - cooking racks allow fat to drip into exclusive deep base. Big capacity. Easy to load - just drape slices over removable rack and place in base. Wrap around handle makes base easy to grasp, even on a turntable. Slotted top allows cooked bacon to be lifted away with a knife. Dishwasher safe. No tiny grooves to clean. Remove cooking racks and stack in base for compact storage.Bacon is excellent with Sunday brunch fixings or on a turkey club sandwich, but many don?t cook it often at home because of the high fat content and the mess. The PowerCrisp just may change all that by providing a leaner and cleaner way to make bacon. This microwave bacon cooker cooks bacon either to a crisp or a soft consistency, depending on how much cooking time it?s given it in the microwave. It has a pair of tent-shaped plastic racks that are easy to load by simply draping strips of bacon over them. The racks rest within a 2-inch-deep tray, which collects all the fat drippings as bacon cooks so the meat is not sitting in its own grease as with stovetop frying. And, as opposed to pan-frying, there is no splatter involved when cooking bacon in the microwave. Simply place a paper towel over the racks and it captures any grease and keeps microwave walls clean. The wraparound handle makes it easy to remove the PowerCrisp from a microwave turntable and dispose of hot drippings without burning hands. Slotted tops on the two plastic racks allow you to slide a knife through the racks to remove cooked bacon. The PowerCrisp cooks up to 10 strips of bacon at a time and both racks and the bottom tray are completely dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Presto covers this microwave bacon cooker under a two-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
