Instructions
Place a microwave-safe plate lined with two layers of paper towels.
Lay the bacon strips on the plate in a single layer.
Cover the bacon with another paper towel to prevent splatters.
Microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how crispy you want your bacon.
Check the bacon halfway through and rearrange if needed for even cooking.
Once cooked, let it sit for a minute to allow the bacon to crisp.
