Subject: RE: BS: gizmo for bacon
Yes, I had one of those hard plastic "microwave safe" things for making bacon and it did okay (I think I still have it somewhere, but I usually do it in the skillet now). To describe the surface, think about having a flat surface of playdoh in front of you. Put your four fingers down on the edge and depress down about 3/4 inch and drag your hand in that position across the surface of the playdoh to the other side. Repeat again beside it until you have this surface that shows a series of depressions across the entire surface. This pan also has a channel around the outer edge of these raised/depressed lines to catch grease. You were supposed to lay the bacon across these raised lines then cover it with paper toweling. I don't remember if it needed toweling under the bacon also.

After describing that I decided to look. I see that Big Lots lists one that has a plastic cover - even better - saves on paper towels.

The bacon generally came out pretty good - crisp enough and not burned like can happen in the skillet.
