00:00This is a true test for well-cooked bacon.
00:02If your bacon stands up, then you know you cooked it right.
00:04If you love making bacon,
00:05but you hate cleaning bacon grease
00:07off of your entire kitchen when you're done,
00:09do it like me and make it in the microwave.
00:11And I know what you're thinking.
00:12Don't I need a million different contraptions
00:13to make good microwave bacon?
00:15You don't.
00:16You just need some paper towels and a plate.
00:18Grab a microwave-safe plate
00:19and layer it with three layers of paper towel.
00:21Put your bacon on the paper towel with no overlap,
00:24and then top that with two more layers of paper towel.
00:27Then you're gonna microwave on high for four to six minutes
00:30until your bacon is nice and crisp.
00:32Check it halfway through.
00:33These are general guidelines,
00:35but this is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
00:38Microwave wattage is gonna vary,
00:39and so will the thickness of your bacon.
00:41So keep that in mind
00:42and keep checking every two to three minutes.
00:45Let's see if this worked.
00:46I'm pretty confident.
00:48Oh, heck yeah, heck yeah.
00:50And the paper towel soaked up all the grease.
00:52Arguably, this was probably the healthiest way to make bacon.
00:55Mm-hmm.
