1. Purchase the best quality bacon you can afford. Bacon is one of those products where name brands are nearly always preferable to store brands.

2. Separate the bacon strips and place on a microwave-safe dish with about three sheets of white (non-printed) paper towel on the bottom. Put one sheet of white paper towel on top.

3. Microwave to taste. Experiment with different cooking times.

4. Using more paper towels if necessary, wrap the cooked bacon and press the grease out of the bacon so that 100% of the grease is absorbed by the paper towels.

5. Enjoy!

If only restaurants would prepare bacon in a similar manner. I often find myself pressing out the grease with my napkin.
