I recently bought a microwave bacon rack for a few dollars at Wally World. The bacon hangs on arms and can cook 6 slices at one time. I was frustrated because my oven doesn’t cook evenly and my bacon wasn’t turning out well so I gave it a shot. I love the microwave rack! It may have been an “as seen on tv” but I don’t remember and don’t watch tv. The bacon turns out perfect for me and unlike the older microwave bacon pans, it doesn’t have groves, just a drip pan, so it cleans up easily. I absolutely love it and it doesn’t leave my microwave a mess like just using paper towels does.

A while back on a whim I cut 4 pieces of bacon in half and put them on a large paper plate with another paper plate on top. I nuked it for about 4 minutes and had perfect crispy bacon. No mess, clean up and less bacon smell throughout the house. Plus the bacon drippings collected on the bottom plate can be used to fry up your eggs. My go to method now.
Way back in ‘79, I bought a bacon rack for my new microwave. It was nothing but a plastic “grill” type tray so you laid the bacon flat and the grease would drip off below the grills. It was ok but I’d rather use a skillet.
This has been a very bad year on my small kitchen appliances so have had to buy new ones. Can’t stand the new microwave with the turn tray in the bottom but you can’t buy one without it. So much for the days of roasting a big turkey in it (one of the best turkeys ever). Not so impressed with the ice cream maker but it’s way better than the old one that required ice and rock salt. The new mandolin seems ok and easier than by hand or using an old cheese slicer. Haven’t tried out the new food processor but it has less parts taking up drawer space than the old one. The new coffee maker doesn’t automatically turn off so wastes electricity 24/7 but hubby bought that model despite me telling him to get the one that turned off. I’ve looked all year for a bread machine so will have to break down and order one. Not that I need one but then I can blame my bread failures on the machine. The new pizza slicer doesn’t have a good grip like the old one did. Funny thing, half my kitchen gadget draw disappeared - pizza slicer, apple corer, grandma’s big heavy butcher knife, etc. How the heck does a big butcher knife disappear? Can’t seem to find an apple corer without the slicer part so will have to get online and pay s&h for a $3 item.
