    Using the microwave is a lot quicker, but two or three sheets of paper towels on a large plate, then the bacon on top of that with a single sheet on top of the bacon will usually keep the grease localized to the plate and makes for easy cleanup.

        Depends on the how many slices, wattage of the microwave, and how long it is put in for.

        8-10 slices on high for 7-8 minutes, they will come out looking like #2 or #3. Then letting them cool uncovered on the counter, they’ll finish cooking themselves from the radiant heat to between #3 or #4.

        Once you figure out the general timing for your microwave, then you can get the perfect bacon that you like.

        There is also the suggestion from the other reply you got. I never had one of those trays, but for people that I have known that have it, it can work pretty well too. My only issue with them is that it’s a single purpose kitchen tool, unlike a plate that can be used for many things besides bacon. Anyway, I’m rambling.
