David Chang Makes the CRISPIEST Bacon in the Microwave in minutes

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat and calories, while pork belly can be more affordable.

Layer the bacon strips in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate, ensuring they are not overlapping too much.

Cover the bacon with a paper towel to prevent splattering.

Microwave the bacon for 6 minutes with the lid on and the knob vented up.

For a different method, layer bacon on a plate without a lid, also covered with paper towels.

After microwaving, let the bacon rest to become crispier.

Store the bacon grease in an empty jam jar for future use.
