slices
Bacon
Instructions
Put 2 pieces of kitchen paper on a microwaveable plate and lay 4 slices of bacon on it, making sure that they don't overlap.
Put another 2 pieces of kitchen paper on top of the bacon and then put it in the microwave on high for 4 minutes.
Notes
Don't forget to add the paper towels, as this will soak up all the grease.
The bacon will get crispier as it cools, so bare this in mind when cooking it.
Don't overlap the bacon on the plate. Each slice should be next to each other, and not overlapping.
be careful when taking the plate out of the microwave, as it will be very hot. Use oven gloves or some paper towels to get it out.
The key to this recipe is using the best quality bacon that you can.
Use bacon slices that are the same size and shape. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
Let the bacon rest for a couple of minutes before serving, as this will help it to crisp up.
