Love bacon but hate the cleanup? Enter the microwave bacon tray—a clever tool that lets you cook crispy, delicious bacon in the microwave without the popping grease or splattered stovetop. Whether you’re a breakfast enthusiast or just want a faster way to bacon, this tray delivers.
What Is a Microwave Bacon Tray?
A microwave bacon tray is a specially designed, heat-resistant tray that lets you cook bacon in the microwave safely and evenly. It typically includes:
- Grooved or ribbed base to elevate bacon above the grease
- Grease reservoir to catch drippings
- Optional lid or splatter cover to minimize mess
Just lay the bacon strips across the ridges, pop the tray in the microwave, and minutes later—bam! Perfectly crisp bacon.
Why You’ll Love It
Faster Than the Stovetop
Cook bacon in 3–5 minutes—no need to wait for pans to heat or ovens to preheat.
Less Mess
No splattering oil, no greasy skillets to scrub—just rinse or toss the tray in the dishwasher.
Healthier Bacon
The raised ridges let grease drain away from the bacon as it cooks, so you get crispy slices without all the extra fat.
Consistent Results
No curling, no soggy spots. Bacon cooks evenly when spaced properly on the tray.
How to Use a Microwave Bacon Tray (Step-by-Step)
- Place bacon strips across the ridges, without overlapping.
- Cover with a splatter lid or paper towel (if your tray doesn’t have a lid).
- Microwave on high—typically 1 minute per slice (but adjust based on your microwave’s wattage).
- Let it rest for 30 seconds—it crisps up more as it cools.
- Pour off grease, and enjoy crispy, delicious bacon!
