Cook Bacon In Microwave From Frozen

Thawing frozen bacon in water.

Cook bacon in microwave from frozen.

Thaw the frozen bacon before cooking. Rotate the microwave plate at 10 minutes. Figure on cooking bacon on high for at least 30 seconds for each strip of bacon. If you re cooking a full pound of bacon it may take up to 15 minutes.

Place the bacon draped bowl into the microwave. If you re wanting whole strips of bacon the best way to evenly and quickly thaw it is to submerge bacon that is still in packaging or a zip top bag into cool water. Select your microwave s defrost setting and indicate the weight of the bacon to be defrosted. To cook frozen bacon start by separating the slices.

If they re frozen solid place the entire block of bacon over low heat to defrost. Alternatively you can place the block on a paper towel covered plate in the microwave on the defrost setting to thaw. This will ensure even cooking of. To avoid splattering the microwave with grease you can lightly cover the bacon with a few paper towels.

Take a peek under the top layer of paper towels and check the bacon. Cook them for a shorter amount of time if the bacon seemed to have slightly cooked during the defrosting stage. Allow microwave cooked bacon to sit for another 5 minutes per batch before uncovering and serving them. If you need the bacon immediately place the frozen bacon on a microwave safe plate and place it in the microwave.

Cook the bacon on the highest setting for about 90 seconds per slice. You don t want the water too warm the bacon may.
