DEFECTIVE BACON DESIGN, USELESS WASTE AFTER 6 USES

I don't often write reviews and I'm certainly not a Karen type. waiting for a perfect world. However, I am writing this review because this device has a flawed design and I find it hard to believe that this product passed the design tests without the flaw being discovered and fixed. I bought it to use as a "bacon cooker". The problem with this is that it has a two-armed plastic "bridge" that has to fit over the rim of the rectangular container's opening, and the bacon is thrown over the bridges of that bridge. But at high bacon cooking temperatures (and possibly microwave exposure), the molecules of the plastic "rim" around the container are deformed/stretched along the rectangular shape, making it longer, AND the plastic "bridge" that the bacon is placed on is it's not long enough to stay on the "notches" on the edge. This causes the bridge to fall off its ledges on either side of the rim of the container and fall into the bowl. Everything, including the bacon, will slide to the bottom of the bowl and your bacon will cook in one big lump in a puddle of fat on the bottom. I even tried reshaping the rim of the bowl with a large carpenter clamp to make it a few times better, but the same thermal expansion and warping issues were causing the same problem. Now I have a useless piece of vinyl and plastic where I lost my hard earned money and it is too late for me to realize this deficiency or issue a refund, I will edit this review to reflect your attempt to improve the service. If not, I have no choice but to simply close this review and RECOMMEND THAT NO ONE CAN BUY THIS THING.
