Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware Microwave Bacon Tray & Food Defroster
Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used this bacon tray for many years however, I recently changed microwaves and the new microwave has a turning tray. Consequently, the bacon tray is too big and for the umpteenth time I have burned at least l piece of bacon and stained the tray. It's going out in the trash today. So, I'm on the web reading reviews for a new bacon microwave cooker.Customer Review: review

received it promptly and it does what I had hoped it would do. CTTCustomer Review: Good bacon from the microwave
Summary: 5 Stars
This is 4th or 5th of these that we've had, and we really like them. In fact we have 2 right now and when cooking bacon for the whole family we alternate trays to speed the process. The tray produces very good bacon, though you have to watch the time to avoid over-cooking (if in doubt just check & restart). Cooks 5-6 bacon strips at once. After your first batch you'll know the cooking time - can be anywhere from around 4-6 mins depending on your microwave and the thickness of the bacon. Cover with a paper towel while cooking, but it's still going to be a little messy.Customer Review: Don't be a doofus like me!

I've given this a good rating because I remember using my mom's eons ago, and I was happy to see that I could order one for myself decades later! But I goofed up. I didn't take into consideration the DIAGONAL measurement of this item, and it's too big to TURN in my microwave. So... make sure YOUR microwave has at least 16 inches of clearance inside if you want your bacon to spin. Duh.
UPDATE, ONE YEAR LATER: I did buy a smaller version of this tray, but I decided I like cooking bacon in the oven way better than the 'wave, even though it takes more time. Get a baking sheet with a cooling rack that fits inside (very cheap at a restaurant supply) and lay the bacon strips on top. Put it into a cold oven and set for 400 degrees. It takes about 15-20 minutes, but the results are crispier, flatter, and yummier (especially if you brush the strips with maple syrup the last few minutes of cooking). All the drippings are caught in the tray, which you can pour into a container pretty easily. Pork fat rules!
Customer Review: It's terrific!

I've had one for years and accidently threw it away. Was delighted to find it on the web, as I haven't seen it in the stores for a long time. Suggestion: Place a paper towel under the bacon while microwaving to ensure easy clean-up!
