My husband and I let it sit in HOT water for about 5-10 minutes, then we lay down 2 pieces of paper towels on a dinner plate, about 10 strips on top of that towel, then 1 more piece of towel over the bacon!. cook for 3-5 minutesWww@FoodAQ@Com

Do not cook frozen bacon - not a good idea!.
Ask someone who cooks in a restaurant about this!.
Definitely not recommended - forget it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It shouldnt take long to thaw out, maybe half an hour or so if it is seperated by slice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hmm id say, let it defrost a bit so you can pull them apart strip by strip, then put it in the microwave (but keep checking it because the oil tends to burn the bacon faster than you think) AND if you have a toaster oven that you can use, put it in there after the microwave to make it crispy (if you like crispy bacon)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would just google how to cook bacon in the microwave so you don't overcook it, microwaves cook crazy fast! My mom has done it before when she was in a hurry to get breakfast done, it won't be crispy like on the stove, but at least it's cooked!. You shouldn't have to defrost it since you're microwaving it!. Enjoy your breakfast!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Set it out and let it defrost first, then nuke it approximatly one minute per piece o' bacon!. ex!. 5 pieces = 5 minutes!.

Use lots of paper towels too to soak up some of that grease!

if you want to defrost bacon you should lick it 7 times (this will take off the outter layer which is not neccesary for good bacon) after that microwave it on high for 20 minutes or until golden brown!. then enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put it in a bowl of hot water to thaw it and then just keep microwaving it until it is done, I would do it for like 45 sec first then flip it!. I used to cook turkey bacon in the microwave all the time!. also, put it on a plate but take two paper towels and put the bacon on one of them and then the other one over the bacon!.!.!.Yummy!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just let it defrost and then cook it the way you want!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Set your microwave to defrost it first!. Then once it's defrosted, layer it on paper towels on one plate - so start with 2 layers of paper towels and then one single layer of bacon!. Cover that with another layer of paper towel and another layer of bacon until all your bacon is in the plate!. Be sure and turn the bacon on each layer so the first bacon layer is point to you and away from you!. The next layer is from your left arm to your right arm!. Then the third layer is back pointing to you and away from you!. That will allow it to cook right!.

Then set your microwave on 100% power and zap it for 3 minutes!. Check the bacon!. Do it again for 2 minutes and check it again!. You don't want it totally crispy or you won't be able to get it away from the paper!. In fact, when it gets close to being brown, lift the pieces off the paper and set them back down - that way you can get them off!. Be careful and not burn the bacon!. Once it starts turning brown, it's very easy to burn it!. So, it's better a little underdone than overdone!.

And the lower layer may be more done than the upper one so be sure and check all layers!.

And, most important of all - it's all going to be very hot and could burn you so handle it with two forks or whatever tool you have in the kitchen for picking up chicken pieces, etc!. That way you won't burn your fingers!.

When I defrost my bacon with my microwave, I push the defrost button and then set it for 3 minutes (all inside it's wrapper)!. Then I cut open the wrapper, remove the bacon, and set it on a plate (still all the pieces together) and defrost it for 2 minutes!. That will be enough for you to be able to separate the pieces!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
