My children love bacon with their breakfast. Does a microwave cooker produce crisp bacon?

No, a microwave cooker generally does not produce crisp bacon. While cooking bacon in a microwave is quick and convenient, it can lead to soggy, chewy bacon rather than crispy bacon. It is because microwave cooking primarily involves heating the water molecules in food, focusing more on steam generation than achieving the level of browning required for crispiness.

For crispy bacon, it's best to cook it in a preheated oven or in a skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. These cooking methods allow the fat to render slowly and evenly, which helps the bacon become crispy while avoiding the soggy texture that microwave cooking can produce.
