Bacon Crisper

I bought this to replace a really old similar white one which I just couldn’t get fully clean looking. This one is lighter, easier to clean, produces just done to crispy bacon. I prefer this to my older one. I can get 4 slices of back bacon on. Sleeping ghtly smaller than my old one so a tighter fit but once the bacon starts shrinking in cooking, it’s easy to separate slices and move them around more. Very pleased with.

Very effective and quick in microwave!

I have only used this once so am hedging my bets and only giving 4 stars at the moment. I read another review that mentioned it was difficult to get the fat out of the grooves as the ridges went right to the edge so she puts a sheet of kitchen towel under her bacon as well as over (to prevent splashes). I found this worked very well but be warned, take the paper away immediately as once the fat starts to cool it will stick to the paper and you won'r get it off.I was realistic and knew I would not like this method of cooking bacon if I was having bacon on a plate (with chips, egg etc etc) but thought it would be really handy for bacon in my cheese & bacon toastie or bacon rolls & sandwiches. I was right, it was really good.I have given 4 stars on the basis that I was being realistic and know it can't compare with crispy f ried bacon but for the purpose for which I bought it, it functioned spot on.The reason only 4 stars is two-fold. The main one is that I can only get 3 slices of back bacon on there at a time, again not too much of a problem for sandwiches or toastie, and the second one is that I am not sure how well it will hold up with use. I will update later and take off a star if it disintegrates and leave it at 4 stars if it stays functional.

Fantastic bit of kit. I've always been sceptical regarding microwaving bacon but thought I would give it a go. I never fry as prefer to have as little fat as possible so I always grill it but getting crispy bacon this way usually results in burnt edges and constantly moving it around from the hot spots in the grill. This micro-tray took 3 mins 30 seconds to produce fantastic crispy bacon. I can't recommend it enough for the time it took and what it produced. The fat falls into the grooves and away from the bacon. Its also the same size as a piece of Kitchen towel which I placed on top to avoid any fat jumping all over the microwave, you can then use this to pat away more fat from the top surface of the bacon. It's also really easy to clean. Nothing else to say other than get this and you won't regret it.

It does cook crispy bacon in the microwave in minutes,however we no lid bacon fat gets left behind in the microwave, (since purchased similar item with lid)!

Good product for anyone who wants their bacon not to be dripping in fat ! Okay the bacon doesn't brown like it does in a pn or under the grill , but it does make it crispy if that is what you want . My wfe is with slimming world s she loves this method of fa reduction using the microwave , she covers with a sheet of plain white kitchen roll to stop splatter. This item was bought (2nd one) to use in our caravan . The price was good too because it was reduced with the add-on to a £20 order . GREAT !!

Very handy. Unlike grilling it, I can cook bacon for a specific time in the microwave so I cannot ruin it by being distracted for a minute or three.I find microwaved bacon just as nice as grilled bacon.This tray is also much easier to clean out afterwards than the grill.I will not use it more than twice in quick succession with giving it a wipe over. When I ran it through half a dozen times** without any wiping [I just poured out the liquid each time], some small areas burnt and pitted the plastic underneath.[** Preparing a lot of cooking bacon for the freezer so it's ready just to throw into things without any further cooking being essential - this is a breeze in the microwave but used to be an hour's chore when grilling]

Used it once so far. It does what it’s meant to do. I find it a bit fiddly to clean and wonder if I’m just as well to get the frying pan out.
