Amazon.com Review
Bacon is excellent with Sunday brunch fixings or on a turkey club sandwich, but many don't cook it often at home because of the high fat content and the mess. The PowerCrisp just may change all that by providing a leaner and cleaner way to make bacon. This microwave bacon cooker cooks bacon either to a crisp or a soft consistency, depending on how much cooking time it's given it in the microwave. It has a pair of tent-shaped plastic racks that are easy to load by simply draping strips of bacon over them. The racks rest within a 2-inch-deep tray, which collects all the fat drippings as bacon cooks so the meat is not sitting in its own grease as with stovetop frying. And, as opposed to pan-frying, there is no splatter involved when cooking bacon in the microwave. Simply place a paper towel over the racks and it captures any grease and keeps microwave walls clean. The wraparound handle makes it easy to remove the PowerCrisp from a microwave turntable and dispose of hot drippings without burning hands. Slotted tops on the two plastic racks allow you to slide a knife through the racks to remove cooked bacon. The PowerCrisp cooks up to 10 strips of bacon at a time and both racks and the bottom tray are completely dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Presto covers this microwave bacon cooker under a two-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Perfect little bacon cooker August 7, 2008
Easy to put together, easy to take apart, easy to store. Simple & not messy to drape the bacon strips over the A-frames. Cooks bacon perfectly. Then, I broke two eggs into the bacon drippings that had collected in the black base and microwaved them for two minutes - perfect well done "fried" eggs ! I am very pleased with this item.
Better than ceramic bacon cookers July 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm much happier with the Presto Microwave Bacon Cooker than I was with the ceramic one from the craft fair. This one holds eight pieces of bacon, as opposed to six for the ceramic; and, the ceramic one would get hot in the microwave! Removal of the bacon is much easier on this cooker - just slide a knife under all four pieces of bacon on each side and lift them to a platter. We like turkey bacon; and, with my son home from college, I will cook one or two packages of turkey bacon at a time. This summer, my son moves into his own apartment and I ordered him one of these for his new kitchen.
Excellent microwave bacon cooker July 5, 2008
Inexpensive and it reduces the grease on the bacon. We've used it for several months and like it. I also love I can put it in the dishwasher for cleanup. It make microwaving bacon much easier than using a plate and paper towels.
Nice Product, Good Results April 12, 2008

Nice design - it fits in a smaller microwave but still cooks 10 pieces of bacon. The results are good, too, with the bacon cooking up better than it does in a fry pan, and there is hardly any grease (though I should mention that I only use the product with turkey bacon). It's easy to clean and store because the uprights come apart and reassemble easitly.
 Easy to use and Clean, Cooks Quickly March 27, 2008

Cooked bacon quickly and accomodated more slices than my flat microwave bacon tray. Also seemed to drain more grease too. I was a little worried that the bacon would turn out "v" shaped, but I just laid it flat on a paper towel after cooking and it straighted right out.
