Overview

• Delish food experts recommend using a microwave with layered kitchen roll to achieve consistently crispy bacon in 4–6 minutes.
• The microwave method reduces cleanup by absorbing grease into the paper towels, leaving no mess behind.
• Delish claims this approach is potentially the healthiest way to cook bacon, as excess grease is removed during the process.
• Mary Berry's alternative stovetop method involves frying bacon in sunflower oil with a lid to enhance crispiness and speed up cooking.
• Both methods reflect a broader trend toward simplifying cooking while optimizing texture and addressing health considerations.
