Review on Presto Microwave Bacon Cooker 05101 - Enhanced Black by Josh Endricko

Revainrating 3 out of 5

rubber results. The best in the kitchen and dining room

As you probably know, the microwave isn't the best way to cook bacon. Whether you like it or not depends on whether you appreciate the convenience of taste or vice versa. It certainly has most of the fat in the plastic base, but you still need to cover the bacon with a paper towel so it doesn't splatter all over the microwave. (I've noticed that grease is still dripping from the top of the microwave, but maybe I misplaced the paper towels or didn't use them enough.) The parts are easy to clean. The fleshy parts of the bacon become firmer and a little red/pink after cooking, the fat remains white/beige. It never really gets dark. The texture is slightly soft to firm, but I would never call it crispy. It's chewing gum. I can use it every once in a while, but after trying it a few times I've decided I'd rather cook the bacon in a deep pan because it tastes so much better. If you're trying to reduce fat, I would recommend roasting the bacon on a rack in the oven. I would send it back but not worth it.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
