Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 05100 Microwave Bacon Cooker
Customer Review: I love this thing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this microwave bacon cooker for about a year now and I LOVE IT!!! It is SOOO nice to use ONE paper towel in the microwave (just to lay over the top) and not tons of paper towels on a plate (the old microwave way).
I personally think that frying bacon in a fry pan is a MESS, splattering all over, and rarely uniformly cooked. The old microwave way on paper towels was messy too, lots of towels wasted as I mentioned earlier.
Cooking bacon on these racks drains the fat, cooks much more evenly, and I think the finished product is excellent. Frankly I don't understand the person who gave a negative review who said that pan fried bacon tasted better. Why, because it's sitting in all of that grease? I don't get it.
When I'm done with the cooker, I take it apart and put it in the dishwasher. EASY EASY EASY. The dishwasher does the rest. If I had to wash it by hand that might be messy, but on the other hand, cleaning a frying pan by hand is no picnic either with all of the grease and the cooked on bits. I used to dread the mess of bacon, but now it doesn't faze me, seriously, this cheap little thing rocks.
It's also easy and light weight to handle. You can easily handle it with hot grease in it and it pours our of the corner very neatly and safely.
Best invention for bacon yet...other than having someone else make it for me.
Description of Presto 05100 Microwave Bacon Cooker
Cooks lighter, leaner and healthier than pan fired - cooking racks allow fat to drip into exclusive deep base. Big capacity. Easy to load - just drape slices over removable rack and place in base. Wrap around handle makes base easy to grasp, even on a turntable. Slotted top allows cooked bacon to be lifted away with a knife. Dishwasher safe. No tiny grooves to clean. Remove cooking racks and stack in base for compact storage.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
