When will people learn a microwave is not a miracle worker
It has been posited in response to I Love Bacon that an even easier method of cooking bacon exists in the microwave.
I am surrounded by Vandal’s and simpletons.
Look, the microwave is great at what it does; agitating water molecules to create heat. If I want to heat up a bowl of soup there’s no better choice. But don’t try and use it for what it’s not intended, particularly cooking meat. It cannot create the all important browning that meat needs because it’s essentially steaming it.
So your bacon isn’t really crisp, it’s just dry. You’ve essentially started to make bacon jerky and then quit really early in the process. I’m all for convenience but if something is worth making then it’s worth the extra 4 minutes to make correctly.
And bacon is so worth making.

I totally agree. I tried microwaving bacon 2x this month and it was not so good. Weird texture and an even weirder smell. If bacon doesn’t smell like bacon, something is not right.
