    It didn't say, but from the pictures on the site,
    I would imagine this is for making the regular
    thickness of bacon.


    Bacon, easy!, microwaved

    you will need:

    a microwave safe dinner size plate
    3 paper towels
    and the bacon!

    On the back of the package, it may read,
    in really small print, that it is microwavable.

    Lay 2 paper towels on the plate.

    Place 4/5 bacon slices in a single layer on top.
    Do Not overlap or slices/strips will stick together.

    Now lay the other paper towel on top of that.

    Cook using full power.
    Depending on the size of the microwave, this amount of
    bacon should take about 4/5 minutes in a regular sized
    microwave to get crispy, less if you like it less crispy.
    (around a minute per slice)

    Using pot holders, very carefully remove the plate,
    as the plate itself will be very hot.

    The paper towels will have absorbed all the bacon fat.
    Use tongs to place the bacon on a serving dish.
    Then throw away the paper towels.

    It's that simple!

    The bacon is nice and crispy and there is very little clean up!

    tip:
    from Danielle, who got this one from her Granddad:
    To store uncooked bacon in the freezer
    Line a rectangular storage container with plastic wrap.
    Then alternate layers of bacon strips (side-by-side and not touching)
    and plastic wrap, until all the bacon is in the container.
    This way, you may remove flat bacon strips directly to the frying pan.
    The layers of plastic wrap between the bacon layers keep the bacon
    from sticking together.
    This works with sausage/hamburger patties and pre-made pancakes, too!
