Crispy Microwave Bacon
Here’s a mess-free way to microwave bacon that doesn’t waste paper towels and you end up with both crispy bacon and a container of liquid gold, a.k.a. bacon grease!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
Instructions
- Line a microwave-safe shallow glass container with four slices of bacon in a single layer.
- Secure the lid and vent it by pulling up the center knob (if using an Anyday bowl). If you don’t have a glass lid, you can place a microwave-safe glass plate on top of the bowl.
- Place the container in the microwave and cook for 4 minutes. Check the bacon for doneness and cook for additional 30 second increments until the bacon is a smidge less crispy than you like. (The bacon continues cooking after you take it out of the microwave.)
- Transfer the bacon to a platter. Strain the remaining bacon grease through a fine mesh sieve into a small glass jar.

Notes
Store the reserved bacon grease in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 months.
The large shallow Anyday dish is one I use when I need to cook four slices of bacon—which is normally the perfect amount when I’m making breakfast for two.
