The Original Makin Bacon Microwave Bacon Dish - Makes Crispy Bacon in Minutes - Simple, Quick, and Easy to Use - Reduces Fat Content for a Healthier Meal - Molded in the USA

5 out of 5 stars – This thing literally changed my life (and saved my microwave from becoming a bacon crime scene) I used to cook bacon the old-fashioned way: skillet on the stove, grease splattering like it was auditioning for a horror movie, smoke alarm going off, wife yelling "Scott, you're turning the kitchen into an oil rig!" Cleanup? Forget it. I'd be scrubbing for days while the bacon sat there judging me. Then I discovered the Original Makin' Bacon dish. Friends, this is not just a gadget—it's a miracle wrapped in white plastic. You lay the strips on those little ridges (like bacon sunbathing on a tiny plastic beach), pop the lid on, nuke it for a minute or so per slice, and BOOM—perfectly crispy bacon that's floating above a pool of its own grease like it's too good to touch the stuff. Low mess? More like NO mess. The fat drains away into the tray below, and your microwave stays cleaner than my conscience after skipping the gym. The bacon comes out excellent crisp—that satisfying snap when you bite it, not the sad, floppy disappointment you get from other microwave attempts. I was genuinely impressed. Like, "Whoa, this actually works" impressed. And the best part? It sells itself. I cooked a batch in front of my skeptical brother-in-law, and the moment he saw those golden, grease-free strips emerge, his eyes went wide. "Dude... I need one." Sold. No pitch needed. Pros: Crispy bacon in minutes without turning your kitchen into a grease apocalypse Super easy—literally foolproof (even I can't mess it up) Low mess (pour out the grease like you're draining a tiny bacon hot tub) Makes you look like a breakfast wizard to guests Cons: My pan doesn't get jealous anymore (RIP skillet self-esteem) I now eat way more bacon because it's too convenient If you're tired of bacon betrayal from your microwave or your stove, grab the Original Makin' Bacon. It's not just cooking—it's bacon liberation. Would buy again. Already planning to gift one to everyone I know. Because nothing says "I care" like enabling their bacon addiction with zero cleanup guilt.

Just as advertised! Easy to use and easy to clean. Bacon cooked just as we wanted - not dried out and not drenched in oil/fat.

I couldn't resist buying the Makin' Bacon after seeing it reviewed on YouTube. It's easy to use and very easy to clean up - just pour the bacon grease from the collection pan in a suitable container, put the three bacon racks in the pan, put the pan in the sink with some warm water & a little dishwashing soap. A few minutes later rinse, wipe the contents dry and repack with the clever twist on/off retainer. As easy as it gets - no need for a dishwasher! Getting the correct degree of bacon crispiness for your taste is not so easy. First, the bacon slices hang over the T shaped racks, and without fail the section of the slices on top (the middle of the bacon slice) is crispier than the sections on the bottom (the ends of the bacon slice). I believe this is because the grease runs down the slices as the bacon cooks and the top dries out first. Second, if you cook only a few slices (i.e. for one person) and use the high power setting on your microwave, there is a heck of a lot of splatter as the rapid heating of the bacon creates an almost explosive evaporation of water within the fat of the bacon. It's much better to use a lower power setting for a longer period of time. Third, if you really load up the Makin Bacon to the max, the bacon cooks quite slowly and the ends of some of the slices are undercooked. You also have to learn how to drape paper towels over the bacon to catch any splatter without the towels drooping into the grease collected in the pan. It takes patience and experimentation to get bacon the way you like it, and even then there will be some variation throughout the length of the slice. Of course the plus side of all this experimentation is that you get to eat the test specimens! Even with the above difficulties I recommend the product. It's inexpensive, works well with some initial trial and error, easy to clean up and a lot lighter than the old cast iron skillet.

It is the bestest. If you want crispy bacon. And also all the oil drains off the bacon. This is my second on. Very durable . My 1st one lasted 5yrs. Can't lose with this product.

I love this thing. Easier to cook bacon in the microwave with this. No mess. Easy to clean out drip pan area. Cooking a lot of bacon to break up and store so I can add to my morning omelets. Would buy again.

Messy

The real deal! As a bacon enthusiast I am excited about this product. I have searched for non -messy ways to book bacon ,to no avail. I looked at microwave products and watched you tube videos until I decided to try this one. It just came so we have only used it once so I can't speak to durability yet. Makin Bacon is jusy as advertised! We played with using different numbers of bacon strips to get the crispness down and it was terrific ! What I like- The handle made it easy and safe to get it in and out of microwave . The drip pan was deep enough to hold the grease from an entire pack of bacon. It is very easy to use and paper towel gets the spatter. It locks the parts in for dishwasher washing and it doesn't take much room. You can cook an entire pack of bacon to your desired crispness. To avoid the strips sticking together I will cook 1/2 a pound at a time. I also straightened the pieces when they were finished to get my crisp , straight pieces. I plan to add a piece of paper towel under the cooker to catch any additional spatter but there wasn't any that I could see. This is a simple tool but an amazingly useful one!

Makes cooking bacon so much easier, less messy and tastes great I drape a paper towel over the bacon and have very little clean up in my microwave. Whereas if I cook it in a pan on my stovetop I have grease spray everywhere.

My family used to use the round with ridges styled microwave bacon dish but found that you could only cook about 4-5 slices at a time and the ridges at the base of the dish created lots of extra surfaces to clean (nobody liked to clean after use). This bacon dish solves both problems. Can cook many strips of bacon at one time, is easily cleaned at end of use and is BPA free. Excellent product!

Very pleased with the Mak'n Bacon

This item works really well. I put the strips on in one minute increments and check them after. This is a handy little kitchen addition to have. Easy to use, no splatter, simple clean up. Excellent. Glad I bought.

Pretty good. It does work but if you are looking for crispier bacon, I find that the ends (touching) tend to stick together. Wider racks would help that but does it really need it?
