“I recently bought a microwave bacon rack”
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.
For store bought pizza or home made this pizza pizzaz really does a good job. I was sceptical, but now sold. The only drawback is that you are limited to about about a 10 - 12 inch size pizza. Good for two people.
I save my bacon drippings because we get locally smoked and cut bacon from a really good source. This might sound odd but I let the drippings cool and then put them in an ice cube tray. After they freeze I put them in a quart size zip loc freezer bag. VERY handy when cooking something and you want a bit of bacon grease, especially hash browns.
