I tried it a few times and like it's portability to take to work and create BLT sandwiches (the aroma of bacon even after a very short time in the microwave drives co-workers crazy) but the cost convenience is high as for a packet with IIRC 8 - 10 slices you could buy a 500 g pack of uncooked bacon with 3 times the number of slices. If I can can get way more bacon cooked at home, well, quantity is worth a little convenience. Just MHO of course.
