The Original Makin Bacon Microwave Bacon Dish - Makes Crispy Bacon in Minutes - Simple, Quick, and Easy to Use - Reduces Fat Content for a Healthier Meal - Molded in the USA

5 out of 5 stars – This thing literally changed my life (and saved my microwave from becoming a bacon crime scene) I used to cook bacon the old-fashioned way: skillet on the stove, grease splattering like it was auditioning for a horror movie, smoke alarm going off, wife yelling "Scott, you're turning the kitchen into an oil rig!" Cleanup? Forget it. I'd be scrubbing for days while the bacon sat there judging me. Then I discovered the Original Makin' Bacon dish. Friends, this is not just a gadget—it's a miracle wrapped in white plastic. You lay the strips on those little ridges (like bacon sunbathing on a tiny plastic beach), pop the lid on, nuke it for a minute or so per slice, and BOOM—perfectly crispy bacon that's floating above a pool of its own grease like it's too good to touch the stuff. Low mess? More like NO mess. The fat drains away into the tray below, and your microwave stays cleaner than my conscience after skipping the gym. The bacon comes out excellent crisp—that satisfying snap when you bite it, not the sad, floppy disappointment you get from other microwave attempts. I was genuinely impressed. Like, "Whoa, this actually works" impressed. And the best part? It sells itself. I cooked a batch in front of my skeptical brother-in-law, and the moment he saw those golden, grease-free strips emerge, his eyes went wide. "Dude... I need one." Sold. No pitch needed. Pros: Crispy bacon in minutes without turning your kitchen into a grease apocalypse Super easy—literally foolproof (even I can't mess it up) Low mess (pour out the grease like you're draining a tiny bacon hot tub) Makes you look like a breakfast wizard to guests Cons: My pan doesn't get jealous anymore (RIP skillet self-esteem) I now eat way more bacon because it's too convenient If you're tired of bacon betrayal from your microwave or your stove, grab the Original Makin' Bacon. It's not just cooking—it's bacon liberation. Would buy again. Already planning to gift one to everyone I know. Because nothing says "I care" like enabling their bacon addiction with zero cleanup guilt.

This thing is awesome. It cooked bacon better than anything I have ever used plus you get rid of the fat. You can make it soft bacon or very crispy bacon just by altering your microwave time I recently went to visit my daughter, and I took it with me and when I left, she said you can’t take that bacon cooker with you. I want it so I left it with her and I bought another one great product.

I couldn't resist buying the Makin' Bacon after seeing it reviewed on YouTube. It's easy to use and very easy to clean up - just pour the bacon grease from the collection pan in a suitable container, put the three bacon racks in the pan, put the pan in the sink with some warm water & a little dishwashing soap. A few minutes later rinse, wipe the contents dry and repack with the clever twist on/off retainer. As easy as it gets - no need for a dishwasher! Getting the correct degree of bacon crispiness for your taste is not so easy. First, the bacon slices hang over the T shaped racks, and without fail the section of the slices on top (the middle of the bacon slice) is crispier than the sections on the bottom (the ends of the bacon slice). I believe this is because the grease runs down the slices as the bacon cooks and the top dries out first. Second, if you cook only a few slices (i.e. for one person) and use the high power setting on your microwave, there is a heck of a lot of splatter as the rapid heating of the bacon creates an almost explosive evaporation of water within the fat of the bacon. It's much better to use a lower power setting for a longer period of time. Third, if you really load up the Makin Bacon to the max, the bacon cooks quite slowly and the ends of some of the slices are undercooked. You also have to learn how to drape paper towels over the bacon to catch any splatter without the towels drooping into the grease collected in the pan. It takes patience and experimentation to get bacon the way you like it, and even then there will be some variation throughout the length of the slice. Of course the plus side of all this experimentation is that you get to eat the test specimens! Even with the above difficulties I recommend the product. It's inexpensive, works well with some initial trial and error, easy to clean up and a lot lighter than the old cast iron skillet.

My grown daughter doesn’t like bacon, unless it’s cooked with this. So much less grease and so easy to use. After using a few times, note what time works best for what cut of bacon, so you don’t have to guess.

I love this product. It does what is says and the bacon turns out much less greasy

This got great reviews on an RV newsletter, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I am not impressed. Maybe it works better if you are cooking regular thin-sliced bacon, but with the thick cut bacon that I use, it is only "meh." The problem may not be with the product as much as it is with cooking bacon in the microwave versus pan frying or air frying. The texture of the bacon is definitely different when it's cooked in a microwave. Plus, it has less flavor when it cooked in a way that all the grease runs off it. I will probably go back to cooking bacon in the air fryer--tastes better and the cleanup is no worse than using this device.

The bestest microwave bacon cooker. And to think a little girl came up with the idea.

I love this bacon microwave tray!All the bacon grease falls in the tray, leaving the bacon crispy!It cooks it evenly also.

My family used to use the round with ridges styled microwave bacon dish but found that you could only cook about 4-5 slices at a time and the ridges at the base of the dish created lots of extra surfaces to clean (nobody liked to clean after use). This bacon dish solves both problems. Can cook many strips of bacon at one time, is easily cleaned at end of use and is BPA free. Excellent product!

Very pleased with the Mak'n Bacon

Excellent product. Bacon stays out of the bacon fat and the fat can be reused once it is poured out. Bacon comes out crisp and non greasy

Ease of use is there but the bacon comes out so dry it's not worth it.
