Ingredients

  • 4 strips bacon

Instructions

  • Line a microwaveable plate or sheet with paper towels.
  • Arrange the bacon strips on the plate leaving at least a quarter inch between slices. Cover with a paper towel layer.
  • Microwave in 30-second increments until bacon is crisp and golden brown.

Notes

Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your bacon. Thinner slices require a shorter time than thick bacon.
Cook in short increments for the best results. I like to check on the strips in 30-second intervals to get the perfect bacon.
Don't try to cook too much bacon at a time. Cooking only 4 to 6 bacon strips of bacon at a time works best.
