Lékué Microwave Bacon Maker

The grease bleeds red for the first 3 or 4 uses, despite being washed every time afterwards in the dishwasher. Makes me wonder what it did to my bacon.

I love this! It does exactly what it promises and I love that it goes in the dishwasher.

What an excellent product! Cooks bacon well and allows the grease to drain off the bacon!

Lekue bacon cooker is terrific- it cooks quickly- 7-8 slices in 3 minutes, all the fat drains down, and most importantly- the microwave stays clean- no splatter due to the cover- it's brilliant. I don't have a large kitchen, but it is slim and easy to store. No regrets- great product.

My husband bought this because he hates to clean up after me when I cook bacon. This pretty much does the trick. Seems to reduce cooking time by a little bit. It does seem the lid doesn't fit perfectly after use and it could stand to be a little bit bigger but otherwise I love it.

Love the bacon maker. The bacon cooks evenly. Best of all there is no splatter on my stove from bacon grease. Love the produce.

Was doubtful that this would crisp bacon to my liking. Delighted to discover it really does work, even with thick-cut bacon (my preference). Just remember to flip the bacon slices after two minutes.

Works perfectly for the microwave. Best bacon cooker I have ever had.

Have only used it twice, but seemed to work well. Helps to clean it before the left over grease cools completely.

The best microwave bacon cooker around, and I've had a few. Six slices done on high in 5 minutes.

A very messy item. The grease from the bacon poured out the sides when trying to pour it into a grease jar. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Bacon grease still gets out and bacon doesn't get crisp. I would not recommend this product.

I have only used this product a couple of times but I like it a lot. I just put in 3 slices. The first time they got a bit too crispy for my taste so I cut the time down to 2 minutes. The bacon turned out just right and no grease! Clean up was easy tho I didn' t put it in the dishwasher because of previous comments.

This is a great bacon maker. I have been trying to find one that was deep and this one has worked great.

I have quite a few Lekue products and love them all. I did 3 slices of bacon on full power in 11'watt micro for 3-1/2 mins and it was perfect to my liking. It might take 3-4 times to get the timing to your liking. Also I'd cut the bacon in half if that makes a difference. I do recommend this product. Also easy to wash by hand. I don't run dishwasher as often as I cook bacon.

This bacon cooker worked great - nice crisp bacon with minimal mess. Catches all grease in bottom of pan. My only comment reflects others I have read regarding the lid. It fits the first time, but once you have used it the lid needs extra care to fit properly. We will see how this goes with more use.

Excellent tray to microwave many items so don’t get soggy while cooking.

I love bacon but I hate making it in the frying pan, so when I discovered this dish I immediately ordered it. I am very happy with the results, it makes cooking bacon a breeze and I have not experienced any problems. Its easy to use and clean.

Works great once you figure the time needed to cook the bacon to your liking.

Size fits perfectly on my microwave turn style. Cooks bacon
perfectly crisp with no spatter with top and no need to use paper towels as the grease rests on the bottom of grooves in the base
Cooks 6 slices.

Great. Fast and bacon is geat

Works great!

Easy to use, easy to clean. The best way to make bacon.

Bought this for my son for his first apartment. He is just having to cook for himself. He said he had to experiment a bit to get the bacon just how he liked it, but it worked just like it said and he got nice, crispy bacon in just a few minutes without the mess. Worked great!

The lid doesn't fit squarely on the bacon cooker. It does cook the bacon very well, tho

Like the microwave bacon maker a lot. The bacon comes out nice a crispy. I gave it 4 stars because the lid doesn't fit perfectly. There are gaps in it on the edges

Overall, I think it works well.
The microwave does stay cleaner than the alternative methods.
I have no problem with the size, as I can allow the bacon slices to bend into the ridges to fit them in.
My only criticisms are that the top is a bit ill-fitting, although I'm not sure it makes a real difference. And that it does take a little practice in timing it to get the bacon cooked to where I like it. But, once there it works well.
A hint: make sure you know the power of your microwave and adjust the power level or any recipes accordingly. This bacon maker can burn your bacon (as we did the first attempt) if you have a powerful oven and use it at full power.

This works very well and most of the recommended times are close. You’ll have to experiment to get your bacon exactly as you want it. Six strips is the limit, five is better.

I love it. It cooks bacon in the microwave without splatter.
If your bacon is super fatty DRAIN THE GREASE half way through cooking!
FLIP the bacon half way as well!
Keep adjusting it until it is crisp.
Mine comes out exactly as each individual likes it. One person likes softer/chewier. That takes less work, is faster, and done.
Another person likes crispy bacon. That takes longer.
We use thick-cut bacon which produces MORE fat to drain off.
This is not a "apply bacon, press start, now it's done" sort of thing. Cooking is cooking and you MUST watch it to stop it when it needs either attention like draining, or flipping once.
Ok so if you allow the grease to raise up and flood the bacon you will not get crispy bacon, AND you will cook the cooker itself instead which causes that pink dyed grease.
The bacon grease WILL be pink for about the first 100 uses.
DRAINING: If you have minimal grease, feel free to use the side spout. If you collected A LOT of grease, turn it sideways to slowly drain from the CORNER.
I have used this item for several years now.
I dishwasher this item. No warping issues. The tray has become a lighter pink due to the fat undying it.
The bacon flavor doesn't change whether using this or a pan on a stove.
The outcome is up tp YOU.

If you like limp bacon this item is for you. If you like even lightly crisp bacon, try something else

I am actually planning on returning this. It turned my bacon orange and it did not taste normal.

I like using the microwave for faster times and keeping the kitchen cool in summer. It really needs to be a little bigger or get just center smaller cur of bacon. The size is my only complaint. Cleans up easy.

I loved the thought of cooking my bacon in the microwave, however, the time you indicate did not work for me. I cooked the first batch at 5 min instead of 7 for crispy and 800+ watts and they all burned (and I mean ash), also part of the pan melted. I then cooked them for 4 min and still some burn. The most successful time was around 3 1/2 min for crispy. I will continue to use the pan at 3 1/2 min although I'm not happy about the melted part of the pan. Thanks!

I bought this based on good reviews, but found the bacon maker was awful. The bacon came out hard and chewy, not at all crisp.

The grease still goes everywheres in the microwave. It cooks
the bacon fine just have to clean entire oven afterwards.Wish it
had been designed with less of a greasy mess in oven
afterwards.
