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

Summary: Great for crisp bacon 2008-10-14
Comment: My wife likes crispy bacon and this is a perfect way to make it. We put 8 pieces of bacon at once and microwave it for 7 minutes and it comes out perfect. If you like it less crispy you just leave it in a little less time and you can have it the way you like it. We also got one for our daughter's family.

Summary: Too messy for me, and too much hot plastic leaching into food. I may have discovered a much tidier way. 2008-10-13
Comment: This is too much oily plastic cleanup for first thing in the morning. Plastic with cooked-in grease is a nasty thing to clean.
Also, many plastics releases potentially dangerous chemicals into your food whenever you heat it up. Can you trust hardened plastic of this kind to be in direct contact with your food at 400+ degrees? Maybe. Who knows?
And since it's made in China, does the plastic have extra toxic additives in it?
Isn't there a way to do this with glass? How about a glass bowl, with an upside down glass inside it. Drape the bacon on the glass, and let the bowl collect the grease.
Has anybody tried this or other home-made glass solutions?

Summary: Simple and Efficient. Assembles and diassembles easily. 2008-10-13
Comment: Cooks more evenly than flat bacon cookers, paper or glass dishes. Bacon varies from brand to brand, package to package and even slice to slice within a package so some variability is inherent in any microwave bacon cooker regardless of style or design because of the bacon, not the device or microwave.
Peeking under the paper towel as the bacon nears the end of the cooking and you'll catch it just right. It certainly cooks it fast enough to watch the finish. It keeps bacon high and dry out of the melted fat.
