 Microwave bacon cooking tray July 9, 2008
Clyde D. Martin Jr. (Knoxville, TN USA)
This product makes it easy to cook bacon on the turntable of a microwave where a square or rectangular tray would not work. I have been very pleased with it and would go this route again.

I absolutely hate washing greasy pans, so being a bacon-aholic, I had to find an easier way to get crispy bacon on the table ASAP or sooner. I've been using a microwave safe plate, and zapping the bacon for about 5 minutes on 70% power, but couldn't resist trying out this product, just because.
Comparative results:
Bacon a la plate:
1. Put a paper towel on the plate
2. Put the Bacon on the paper towel
3. Put another paper towel on top
4. Zap at 70% power for 5 1/2 minutes
5. Remove top paper towel
6. Put bacon in another plate - ready to eat
7. Discard greasy bottom paper towel
8. Allow plate to cool, add dishwashing liquid and water for a few minutes
9. Wash as usual
Bacon a la gadget
1. Put bacon on grooved side of gadget
2. Put a paper towel on top (I hate cleaning splatters off microwaves too)
3. Zap at 70% power for 7 minutes
4. Zap again depending how it comes out
5. Remove top paper towel
6. Put bacon in another plate - ready to eat
7. Reserve gunky stuff at bottom of gadget if you're going to use it later
8. Apply generous quantities of dishwashing liquid and hot water, leave gadget to soak
9. Wash off whatever comes off, then leave to soak longer
10. Rinse, and soak again
11. Realize that sticky stuff isn't coming off the sides of the ridges or the inside rim of the gadget
12. Apply more detergent and use brute force with a brush to the problem areas
13. Remember to brush both sides of each ridge
14. Wash again
Summary:
For bacon without all the mess
Just use the microwave
There's no real need to use a pan
Unless it's fat you crave
All you need's a dinner plate
And two thick Bounty sheets
The rendered fat helps it to cook
Providing crispy treats
This gadget works, make no mistake
But it's too hard to clean
Use the flip side as a plate
And zap some quick cuisine

We have used one of these with a cover for many years - we have not found an easier way to cook bacon without the mess or grease splatter. I drilled holes in the cover to let the steam out, but without letting the splatter out. It would be helpful if they made a cover with steam holes. After many uses, the base becomes yellowed and takes the scratchy side of the sponge to clean between the splines, but it is still much easier than cooking bacon in a frying pan. We cook bacon every week and highly recommend it. We tried all the others - you need to be sure to have am 11 inch cover that fits inside the edges. We replace the base every four-five years after it gets too yellowed and brittle.

I also have a rectangular version, purchased many moons ago. It is reversible. It's at home all the time, flat side up, in my microwave to catch boil-overs or spills. I never take it out except to clean it. It is easier and safer to clean this item than dealing with the glass turntable.
In response to Elaine L.-- this is not difficult to clean if you know how. After frying bacon, drain out any fat and place the rack into your sink. Sprinkle it with dishWASHER detergent, fill it with your hottest tap water and let it soak for a few minutes. By the time the water is cooled, the detergent will have done a good job. Then you can finish it by scrubbing quickly with a stiff brush and rinse in plain water, or put it into the diswasher. Either way, its fast & easy.
I gave it only 4 stars because of its size/shape. The rectangular reversible design is far superior to this one.

This rack allows fat to drain from the meat but it is very hard to clean. You will spend more time cleaning this rack than cooking or eating the food.
