Achin for Some Bacon
I had been looking around for a microwave bacon cooker for some time now and I’ve found a few, but they weren’t completely enclosed. An unenclosed bacon cooker calls for a messy microwave. Luckily I was able to try out a new invention, the CrispyClean® Bacon Broiler.
I have to say that when I took it out of the box, I was so confused. Yes it came with instructions but me being me, if I can’t figure out how to use something without the instructions then I get frustrated. I couldn’t figure out how to open the broiler until I read that I have to unsnap the keys. The first two times I tried out the broiler, I followed the instructions, then I got addicted to eating bacon and started stuffing the bacon into the broiler without taking the vanes out and placing them on to a plate like suggested. That said, you don’t have to follow the instructions word for word.
For this review I used pork bacon, I was on a roll buying turkey bacon. Since I wanted to do the review without having to go to another store, I selected pork because Walmart was lacking in the turkey department.
I think that the CrispyClean® Bacon Broiler is a great invention, but with many products there’s room for improvement. I think that the broiler should be shortened some as I had to maneuver it into my microwave since it is pretty tall. The plastic cup should probably be a tad more thick. Is softens up a little while hot. The amount of time that you cook the bacon varies, I know that each microwave and piece of bacon is different. It took almost 6 minutes to cook 6 slices when the recommend time was 30-45 seconds per strip.
I will continue using my CrispyClean® Bacon Broiler because it really does come in handy. I can pop some bacon in the microwave and continue doing whatever I’m doing. No more standing over the stove flipping bacon. No more getting popped by bacon grease. No more going through paper towels to either dry off the bacon after the stove flipping or when microwaving the bacon on a plate instead.
An idea that I think may come in handy…
- For those on the go, place bacon in broiler and refrigerate overnight. Toss it in the microwave as you get ready for work or bring the broiler with you.
And because Greg and I love this part of the Lion King…

Not a bad idea. I tend to hate cooking bacon because if the mess, over use of paper towels and the smell in the house. I may look into investing in one of those products. Thanks!
