How do I clean a microwave if it is splattered with fat?

Community Answer

Whenever my microwave needs cleaning, I mix some dish soap and warm water. Simply use a dishrag to scrub out the microwave and use a second one to dry it.

What if I don't have paper towels or napkins?

Community Answer

If you have a brown paper grocery bag, you can tear off a piece of that and put your bacon onto it for microwaving.

Question

Can I use greaseproof paper when cooking bacon in the microwave?

Community Answer

I do it all the time. But I also lay a few sheets of paper towels under the bacon and one on top. This leaves absolutely no cleanup whatsoever!

Community Answer

The usual is 30-60 seconds per slice, depending on how well done you want it. The power levels of microwaves differ, so test a slice in yours to get the results you want.
