I HAVE ONE ELSE.

Too much work to make bacon. First, the panel is only 8 inches wide. And I've never seen bacon as small as 8 inches in a pack. My guess is that once cooked it will only be 5 or 6 inches long (nothing to brag about unless you're trying to sell miniature bacon). The illustration shows how to "bend" or "pivot" the bacon to fit. Well, you can only do this with the first few pieces before they get so stuffed in there that it starts looking like the bag you just took the bacon out of. So to finish the test I cut 2 inches off the bacon and put it on the stove top as shown in the picture on the box. Now for the plastic skewers that go through all the pieces to keep them straight: so bad from the heat that after cooking they looked like the branches of a tiny bonsai tree. Under no circumstances may they be reused. A wooden one would be much better. Next, Time/Temperature: Graph took an average of 9 minutes for my 1000 watt turntable microwave oven. After 9 minutes my bacon was half done. So I added another 6 minutes (I have to say I used "thick" bacon). It ended up being cooked quite unevenly and even the cooked parts weren't crispy. Finally, the cleaning: It should be almost dishwasher safe unless you use a bottle cleaner between each slot. Not me. So, after all that (the microwave smelled like bacon for days), I used the electric skillet and within 15 minutes I had perfect bacon. Yes, I learned another lesson about TV product risk.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Useless features
