Do Microwave Bacon Cookers Work? Let's Find Out! 

*I would have drained the liquid out each time as that would be preventing the bacon from becoming crispy. They would have been cooking but steaming at the same time*

Your BBQ was looking through the window thinking "WTF GREGORY I'M RIGHT HERE!"

If that’s how bacon looks in Australia then I’m moving to Australia!

I reckon you'd get a better result without stopping every minute. Try it for 4 or 5 minutes straight up without stopping.

Holy crap are your pigs the size of elephants in Australia 😲 🐖 🐘

Hey Mate invest in a small pair of tongs. Your fingers will thank you and they're extremely handy anyway. I have have at least five sets of quality tongs . I use them constantly

This video has shown me that we want everything microwavably fast. 🥓🥓🥓There's no way overlapped bacon is going to be cooked on a plastic container in 3-5 minutes when is constantly being brought back to room temperature. Now that you have done this video (which is definitely appreciated) I think you should cook the same cut style of bacon, and do it for 5 minutes CONSISTENTLY.

I like the five minutes, but I’m sure that it depends on the wattage of your particular microwave oven.

i been cookin bacon in a cast iron skillet for ever, then recently i cooked it in the oven at 400 fareningles for about 20 minutes, i had a foodgasm.

🥓🥓🥓🍺🍺🍺 Bacon and beer is all you need in life

This is the best day of greg's life

Most of that liquid in the tray isn't fat, it's the salt solution (AKA brine, ie water, salt & sugar) they inject into cheap supermarket bacon. Buy good bacon from a local butcher and you won't get all that liquid, AND it'd crisp up better because it wouldn't be steaming.

I didn't know that Australians were so funny. You're awesome.

Holy buddah that bacon is big

Look at Greg, rebelling against the system by going over the recommended microwaving time. There is no way to contain this madman.

Gregos bacon looks so much better than here in the states. And its freakin yuuuuge

Craving bacon right about now

Thanks for bringing home the bacon Greggo

That's the biggest bacon I've ever seen I need this in my life

I usual put 2 paper towel sheets on a plate, then bacon and one more paper towel on top. Same method, check . Gets as crispy as from a BBQ

Had actually gone to bed but now I'm in the kitchen...

Love the energy from your video!! Gold!!

I think we just figured out how hungry jacks cooks their bacon…..1 minute in the microwave

Next video: Bacon lettuce.

That is the largest slice of bacon I have ever seen in my life. Wow!

i ènjoyed seeing this mans humor more than to see if it works

We bake our bacon here in Texas, easy and turns out great.

Dude that was some massive bacon

"Bacon, what man doesn't love bacon?" *Vegans have joined the chat*

The microwave shuts off by itself! No over cooking

Spotlight have these on clearance. You can't beat frypan, or grilled bacon agree.

Let the bacon-fat solidify, then you smear it over bread instead of butter.

Lots of things you can cook with bacon grease. Green beans with onion, garlic and mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, pot stickers, eggs. Lots more.

We have a big convection microwave in our dorm and if u put the convection settion on you can place metal oven containers in it

If you want the best bacon, get a barbeque!

I got a microwave bacon cooker and it works too. Got the tray just like yours but not the lid. Nice vid Greggo!

I cook bacon in the microwave just use paper towels underneath and on top I start at a few minutes about 5+ straight minutes for a really crispy bacon And of course give the microwave a wipeout after its cooled down

We've been microwaving our bacon in the States since the 1980's!

Bacon sounds good right now!!!🥓😋

I tried this last night and the first time I did it for 3 minutes took it out and checked it then put back in for another 3 minutes and the result was slightly crispy, then I done another 2 slices for 6 minutes straight and they came out perfectly crispy🥓🥓🥓🥓

The poaching eggs for that type of fat, is a great idea.

I place slices side by side on a dinner plate for 3 minutes covered. The fat cooks the bacon like the stove. My microwave is powerful so you may need more time.

I have one at home, I use it if I am in a rush or just want some cooked bacon to use in other recipes. I also use it with some spices and brown sugar or maple syrup to make something extra special :) .

Thank you Greg, I think I would cook it for 10 minutes, I like my bacon extra crispy :)

How big are your pigs over there, That's huge bacon. Don't eat that 3 minute piece, you might get worms :D Hi Bernice

I have just tried this but couldn't bother with 1 min at a time, went streight for 5 min, still ended up with steamed bacon, have just put on a cast iron pan to do it properly, but thanks for the demo.

I use two paper plates and a sheet of paper towel. Paper towel on the plate, bacon on top, second plate flipped over on top of the bottom plate. Clean up is easy...garbage can.

Cool, think I'm getting one. That is some primo looking bacon Greg!

We have tried and here’s a tip, cut the rind off cook the bacon seperate and longer and it dose crisp, then do the rind on it’s on and it go’s as crunchy as pork cracking!

Grego perfect crispy bacon is do-able in a microwave and its better than fried. But you have to use the right bacon. Buy a pack of Aldi thin and crispy bacon. Take 2 pieces and split them down the middle so you have 4 strips. Place them on a paper plate lined with a couple of paper towel sheets. put them the microwave on full power for 5 minutes or until the bacon stops popping. Take them out and leave them to crisp up for a couple of minutes. Its a ball tearer!

You know what’s a simple easy lunch I made myself a egg tomato lettuce mayo wrap 👍 For a Sunday lunch

I like my bacon not to bend when you hold the edge, BLT is my favorite samich😋 That's the biggest bacon strips I have ever seen... Don't forget "Bacon" is the only food that is also a condiment.

Eating a bacon sanger while watching this

I love bacon

I'm late to this one but anyway. First off I still cannot get over the bacon cuts you have Down Under! It's huge! (insert joke here) I have to find something like this stateside. As for the nuking platter I've had one of these for about 15 years. They're decent when used correctly I'd suppose, but I prefer to cook my bacon old school style exclusively on cast iron as I did even before microwave ovens. When I WAS in a hurry to cook some bacon I'd put 5 or 6 slices on the platter, cover with a paper towel, and nuke for 6 minutes for the crispy bacon I prefer. It's generally 1 minute for every slice of bacon you put in. And keep the nuker going. Try not to keep checking. Great vid Greggo and thanks again!

Biggest slice of bacon I’ve seen 😮❤😊

when i was a young bloke i would wrap bacon in paper towel chuck it in the microwave for 3-5 mintues and had about the same result :)

I think Kevin bacon 🥓 is a great actor.

Get a Farberware air fryer Greg... 4-5 minutes... perfectly browned and yummy... Without being burned to a crisp.

hey Greg, heard about the new innovation called tongs

Nothing better then fry pan ;) Miss you my man!!

Crikey the size of that bacon cooked up nice too I must get one of these great vid Greg,

Now that's a slab of proper bacon. It's been scientifically proven by the bacon scientists that the best way to cook bacon is under the grill at 220°c. The fat goes golden and crispy crunchy and it cooks quick so the meat doesn't dry out and become tough.

greg's been grinding recently, keep it up legend! (glow up)

Bacon lettuce 😂😂😂 so funny Grego! Love your videos, keep up the good work dude 👍😁😎

The easy answer to this, Grego? If you feel you must have a rasher or two, use a frying pan, preferably a fairly heavy one. Microwave ovens are useful for some things, but their usefulness is, shall we say, somewhat limited. And do try not to go and burn your fingers; that's generally something to avoid while cooking. Very good video as always. Thanks.

Good video mate

Watched your advertisements to the full to support ya, mate.

That bacon looks like what we used to call 'side meat' on the farm . Try cooking it in the oven one time Mr G.... Works great !

Cannot beat good old classic bacon and eggs on toast mmmm

You got some yummy looking bacon, oooooooo bacon essence 😁😁😁

3:20 I love how hes like "OH GOD THATS HOT" and the microwave is just like "cool bro"

Good video Greg, actually didnt look too bad after 5 minutes!

Just lay the bacon on a paper bowl on a paper plate with a paper plate over the top to stop it getting messy. Cook, then throw the plates away. Hot bacon butty, no washing up, no fat blocking yer drain...

"I'll do what you say...'cause that's what you're telling me to do" haha a man who does follow instructions, showing they're out there Greggo! ;) I couldn't stand checking it every minute, drive me nuts, I'd just go for 2min blasts. That bacon fat would be yummy in something else, for sure

You had me at bacon. +1

Yeah I like my bacon cooked....all I can say is thank goodness for stoves. When it comes to bacon I dont play. But it is nice to know I have an option if all else fails. Cheers

ayo greggo! 3 minutes in then flip it over, another minute!!

I drain out the salty water after 2 minutes, then after 4 minutes the 6 rashers are crispy.

When are you going to get an oven cloth so you don't burn your self.

Hey Greggo how about doing a how to vid for your pressure cooker/crock pot. I have one just like it but can't get the bitch to work. Cheers.

" OH GOD That's Hot " Sorry mate I just cacked so much I had to stop the video until I stopped cackling, LOL :P What are those pineapple type of boxes you have. Thanks for the review I have wanted one of these for a while now, but a little ho hum but now ill buy one for myself. I am not into really crispy bacon myself this looks well enough done for me. Great review Greg.

A minute waiting for bacon might as well be eternity.

bring that bacon juice into the bedroom grego

You're really funny!!

I always have been in love with your bacon GregO . . . .😆

The best bacon or ham in general is definitely Spanish. Spanish smoked bacon is so beautiful! We have the same bacon as you guys have over here in the UK, Scotland. I kinda hate the bacon we have.

Go for it. Overlap! 😀❤️

GregO broke out the old electric guitar for this video! ,,, Good on you mate. :)

With microwaves, 4 times at 1 minute < 1 time at 4 minutes. You let the bacon cool between each time when you pull it out and check so it has to reheat again which wastes some of the cook time in each minute.

I have a si ilar one if you put it in to get the tuperware hot first ten you get that sizle

I do it in a toaster and eggs for brecke

What's your best dish you have cooked bacon with grego?

I just had a BLT for dinner with 4 slices of bacon (American style) cooked in the microwave on paper towels. It took 3:30 to cook to my liking which is moderately crisp. I always cook my bacon in the microwave, I like it better than being all greasy from the pan. I think the reason your bacon took so much longer is that the timing in the instructions looked like it was for American style rather than Aussie bacon. Being that your bacon is so much bigger, a longer cooking time makes sense.

You don't need a special plastic container. Put it on a plate and put some paper towels on top.

Piggies are magically delicious, and bacon is the reason. Nice one Greggo!

I believe the Bible lists microwaving Bacon as a Sin.

beacon is very hard to cook in microwaves, toss that uncrispy bits to the magpies.

Guys of the world be careful if someone invents a woman's purfume that smells like bacon or BBQ sauce were in big trouble !!! LoL !!!
