Kitchen Aid Cookware: Nordic Ware Microwave Bacon Tray & Food Defroster Review

I've given this a good rating because I remember using my mom's eons ago, and I was happy to see that I could order one for myself decades later!But I goofed up.I didn't take into consideration the DIAGONAL measurement of this item, and it's too big to TURN in my microwave.So... make sure YOUR microwave has at least 16 inches of clearance inside if you want your bacon to spin.Duh.

UPDATE, ONE YEAR LATER: I did buy a smaller version of this tray, but I decided I like cooking bacon in the oven way better than the 'wave, even though it takes more time.Get a baking sheet with a cooling rack that fits inside (very cheap at a restaurant supply) and lay the bacon strips on top.Put it into a cold oven and set for 400 degrees.It takes about 15-20 minutes, but the results are crispier, flatter, and yummier (especially if you brush the strips with maple syrup the last few minutes of cooking).All the drippings are caught in the tray, which you can pour into a container pretty easily.Pork fat rules!
