I was priviledged to be allowed to test a revolutionary microwave bacon cooker. When you think of making bacon in your microwave, do you think about the bacon practically laying in its own grease? Do you think about the splatters that you are going to have to clean out of your microwave? Do you think about how you won't be able to get the bacon crispy like you like it?

Well, if you have given up on microwaving bacon or if you never even tried because you just thought it wouldn't work, I want to let you know that it can be done in a painless fashion! All you need is the CrispyClean® Bacon Broiler! This is the only totally enclosed unit on the market and it is easy to use! And it is cute.

Let me tell you something about the way it works.

The top locks and unlocks from the vertical vanes via a specially designed section in the top. The vertical vanes (there are six) are where you place the strips of bacon. One strip per each vane. Then you put the top onto the vanes and turn it. This locks the tabs into place. Then using the handle, which is part of the top, you pick the vanes up and set them into a plastic housing (a big cup). There are black clips that lock the lid into place. Next you place your CrispyClean® Bacon Broiler into the microwave, set the timer for the appropriate amount of time, then you go make the eggs or pancakes or sandwiches while the bacon cooks. Depending on how many slices you cook, how thick they are and the strength of your microwave will depend on how long your cooking time will be.

We had a package of bacon with 15 strips in it. It took 4 minutes and 30 seconds to cook six slices of bacon to crispy perfection. When you take the bacon out of the microwave, you unlock the black clasps, lift out the vanes using the top, then remove the top from the vanes and pull off your yummy bacon. The grease is all in the bottom of the cup. Pour that out into a can or bowl and then you are ready to go again!

There is a little bit of a learning curve as you figure out the cooking time based on your microwave's strength, but the ease and the crispiness of the bacon and the lack of mess make those few moments well worth the effort!

This totally enlosed unit is fantastic! It is small enough to store easily. It is easy to use. It is healthier than other ways you can cook bacon because the fat drips down to the bottom during cooking. The bacon is easy to remove from the vanes.

You would think this awesome CrispyClean® Bacon Broiler would cost a small fortune, but it doesn't! You can purchase one for $14.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. Or you can purchase two in a twin pack for 24.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. With a twin pack, you can keep one and give one as a gift or if you often cook for a large group, you can be rotating the bacon broilers through your microwave more quickly!

I give this product 2 thumbs up!
