You have to give her some credit though. She could stay at home, cook bacon in her microwave, have to clean it, then eat it quick before she rushes out to work, or she could bring it to work, get paid to cook it, and not rush anywhere.
Hmmm, next time can you ask her how long she cooks it for?
It’s BACON!! baconbaconbacobaconbaconbacon BACON!!
Well Someone had to…
Dorothy Parker used to chew raw bacon. She said it made her feel less feminine, or something like that.
What’s it say?
I CAN’T READ!
[sub]Gawd, I love that part…[/sub]
UUUUGGGH!! Nuked bacon? It turns out all limp and yukky!!! Shame on her!! Ruining a perfectly good “sin” food!!
Truly, it doesn’t, if you do it right. Have you ever done it? As has been mentioned, you need a lot of paper towels, but it turns out crispy and yummy.
It’s not the best way, but it’s still pretty good, and much faster than pan-frying.
I have one of those stupid trays to cook bacon in the microwave oven. You put the slices in these slots, and run a stick through each end to keep them from shriveling up. 8 minutes later, you have crisp, fat-free, tasteless strips of something brown. Well, it DOES taste better than Bac-os ™ but, not by a whole lot. Since I do have to watch my fat intake, and I love bacon, it’s much better than no bacon at all.
HANDY HOUSEHOLD HINT - Do NOT use a George Foreman Grill ™ to cook bacon. I tried it once. Never again!
I use a microwave pan that has a surface like a washboard and a little moat around it to gather the grease. I am what would pass for an expert on bacon, being from Arkansas and all, and I must say that it cooks bacon BETTER THAN FRYING!

Be careful, An Arky. I may have to report your comments to the authorities.

Please, please, don’t report me to the authorities!

I bake my bacon on a broiler pan in the oven with lots of fresh-ground pepper or lemon pepper on it.
Delicious.
It’s BACON!
Sorry, coudn’t resist, but I agree with the OP that she shoud have covered the bacon with a paper-towel. If she does that at home, I would hate to see her kitchen. I like the note on the microwave idea, too! 
Q
Eggs? Do they not have mushrooms where you come from, or something? They hold the flavour way better than eggs, IMHO.
Btw I’m fairly sure I’ve eaten raw bacon once upon a time. The lean, anyway: the fat and rind is pretty much unchewable. Cooked is better, though.

Try Hormel Bacon Bits. If it’s Hormel, it’s real bacon!
We do bacon under the broiler in the oven but on a rack with a pan under it to catch the grease. It gets nice and crispy that way. MMMMMMM, Crispy!
I prefer turkey bacon, which is less greasy and it cooks easier in the microwave.
I like my bacon nice and tender and juicy. It’s MEAT, it shouldn’t be burnt to a crisp!
Trichonosis, people.
Raw bacon, indeed.
This makes me think about Mr. Gray in Dreamcatcher (the book, haven’t seen the movie), when he makes Pete stop at the convenience store to buy bacon then forces him to make raw bacon and mayo sandwiches in the parking lot. IIRC he scarfed down a whole pound of raw bacon. :eek:

This of course happened when I was in college, not when the homeless people were.
