- 12 oz. medium/thick-cut bacon
First, line a large microwave-safe plate with 3 pieces of paper towel.
Then, place 4-6 pieces of bacon on the plate (however many you can fit).
Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Then, carefully flip bacon over and continue microwaving for an additional 3 minutes.
After 6 minutes continue microwaving in increments of 30-60 seconds until your bacon reaches its desired doneness.
Repeat the process until all bacon is cooked.
- Bacon thickness: if you are using thin bacon, we recommend starting with 2 minutes and then flipping and cooking for 2 more minutes. After that, microwave in increments of 30-60 seconds until it reaches desired doneness.
