Bring on the Bacon A delicious and easy way to cook bacon is to do it on a grill. By cooking bacon over a low flame you can get the same smoky, fatty flavor that you get from the microwave but without all of that excess fat and grease. If you want to lower the amount of fat you use, then take your bacon outside and start cooking it over a low flame for 10 minutes or so before microwaving it. Also, if you use a bacon tray in the microwave, then try cooking your bacon in the same tray that it was packaged in. It’s an easy, and time saving trick that will leave your bacon crispy, but not greasy. And you won’t have to clean up a grease covered tray afterwards. Bacon Recipes Aside from some homemade marinara, these three recipes show how you can easily prepare bacon without giving you unwanted fat and grease. If you’re looking for a new way to prepare bacon and you want to give the microwave option a try, then try one of these three recipes. But you might just have to try them all out.
