PrepSolutions Microwavable Bacon Grill, White – Nonstick, Easy-Clean Design, 1 Piece

I've had this microwave bacon "grill" for about two years now, and it has become one of the most used utensils in my kitchen since my husband and I started the carnivore diet last year. It is SO MUCH cleaner than frying bacon on the stovetop or cooking it in the oven. The lid definitely contains splatter, so the worst that happens to my microwave is that it smells like bacon when I'm done (and let's be honest -- is that really a bad thing??).Also, cleanup is super easy. Since we're carnivore, I save bacon grease, so all I have to do after putting the bacon on paper towels to drain is pour off the grease via one of the corners of the grill through a fine-mesh sieve (also lined with cheesecloth) into a glass or metal container, and then the grill can go straight into the dishwasher. I believe the instructions say top-rack dishwasher safe, but I don't use the drying cycle, so I have been able to safely put both pieces on the bottom rack and in two years, neither piece has warped. And they both come out completely clean every time! I was super impressed by that, since I figured there would be little bits hanging on in the low spaces.I also like that it's closer to square rather than oblong, so you can fit that fifth piece of bacon laid (more or less) flat onto it. The oblong ones may be long enough to stretch an entire piece out across the ridges, but most only fit 4 pieces. The description for this one says 4-6 pieces at a time, but no matter what brand I've bought, I've never fit more than 5 pieces in at a time. And since it's more square than oblong, I do have to wrap the very ends of longer pieces across the bottom edge of the pan, but that has never interfered with cooking it thoroughly. You just don't end up with completely straight pieces, but that is certainly no deal breaker for me. And cooking even one more piece at a time means fewer iterations to cook enough bacon for the whole family.For me, the limited number of pieces cooked at one time is the biggest drawback to microwaving bacon; sure, one tray full cooks faster (AND CLEANER!!) than stovetop or oven, but you have to do it more times to get more than one or two servings of bacon. If you're cooking one meal for one or two people, that's fine, but if you're meal-prepping for the week or have a bigger family, it gets more time-consuming. Cooking up a full pound of bacon usually takes me 3-4 rounds of cooking. But this is still not that big a deal: it's less time-consuming and messy than doing it on the stovetop, and at least I can be doing other meal-prep activities while it's cooking in the microwave,

The proper way to cook bacon in the microwave. Makes it easy to save the bacon grease too.

Worked great on normal bacon, but not good for thick cut. I added 30 seconds and nice and crispy. Instead of 3 minutes for three strips at 80%, 3 min 30 sec.

This thing rocks! It cooks bacon to perfection without the mess. We can usually get 5-6 slices on and we start at 5 minutes of cook time and at most may need to add up to one additional minute. I’m telling you this thing is the real deal. My wife washes it by hand every time and places in dishwasher once per week in between the hand washing.

This plate and lid is great for frying bacon quickly in microwave. Its has good weight to it. I was surprised how heavy the plastic is. It’s just right, not flimsy at all. Love the lid and fits well. Very happyThank-you

I've used this maybe two times. Every time I reach for it, I remember how painful it was to clean with those silly ribs. This happened enough times that I've flat lost it. It's not bad and what you see is what you get, but it's so much more difficult to clean than a good old pyrex style microwave dish that I broke and can't seem to find it now. I bought this to replace it, it didn't. I just make my bacon in the oven on a baking with parchment paper, takes an extra 19 minutes, but there's no clean up and I'm not too keen on getting grease into the drain pipes. With those deep ribs, you can't easily wipe this thing down enough to avoid that.

I used to use lots of paper towels cooking bacon in the microwave and dealt with a lot of grease. Not anymore with this item. It's easy to cook up to six slices of bacon and not waste paper towels. It's well ventilated. It's good quality. Easy to clean afterwards using steel wool or a good sponge. No more greasy strips of bacon.

Seems to hold up well, easy no mess cooking. Holds 6 pieces easily, perfect for small family.
