Is there a way to cook bacon without the excess oil? Usually, we have to prepare sheets of paper towel just to drain the dripping grease. Fortunately, you can skip this extra step by using a bacon cooker instead of frying bacon in a grill pan! If you’re looking for the right bacon cooker for you, look no further.
We have here our top picks for bacon cookers that are both functional and affordable.
1. Presto Microwave Bacon Cooker
If you hate sad soggy bacon, then you better cook it to a crisp. But cooking bacon until crispy can be scary with all the oil splatter that happens on the pan, or a greasy mess to clean in the microwave. Avoid making a mess in your microwave with the Presto Microwave Bacon Cooker. With a deeper tray compared to most bacon cookers, you can avoid spilling the excess oil inside the microwave. Now there is space for more bacon, and less mess to clean up. Storage is also made easier by simply stacking the plastic racks that fit perfectly in the container.

4. Joie Piggy Microwave Bacon Tray
Bacon oil can be pretty stubborn to remove in the microwave completely. Sometimes one scrubbing is not enough to remove the slick and smell from the oven. It is a greasy and sticky mess especially if you are cooking the honey-cured variant. That is why the Joie Piggy Microwave Bacon Tray is our favorite because it comes with a lid to prevent oil from splattering all over the insides of the microwave. It makes cooking bacon in the microwave a breeze so we can cook more bacon more often. It also comes with an adorable pig handle that will surely brighten up your day while cooking bacon.
5. Lekue Microwave Bacon Maker/Cooker
Some bacon cookers recommend checking up on the bacon every minute, which means having to open your microwave numerous times instead of letting the bacon cook all the way through. You might be doing the same thing because you want perfectly crisp bacon on both sides. With the Lekue Microwave Bacon Maker/Cooker, you can simply take a peek at the clear lid to check for doneness. You will not need to open the oven to check often because this cooker will ensure you get perfect bacon every time. The lid also prevents the drained oil from making a mess in your microwave, so you won’t have to wipe the insides every time you cook bacon for breakfast.
