I had one of these years ago. It was lost during a move. I can make crispy bacon in the microwave that’s similar to oven baked bacon, and it cleans up easy in the dishwasher.

The bacon wave isn’t bad. It’s okay. It works decently. It’s great for collecting pure bacon grease. It can take a little time to set up because you have to insert bacon strips into their own individual slots and skewer them so the don’t directly touch the bottom of the tray. It can get a little messy. It’s probably just quicker to heat up a pan on the stove, but this is a good option for someone without a stove or griddle. You can stack them in the microwave for more quantity. I cooked them (2 racks each with 5 pieces of bacon) for the time recommend for 5 pieces (4 min 45 seconds) but the bacon still looked raw. I thought this might be because I stacked them so I tried the time for 10 pieces of bacon ( 7 mins 30 seconds) but it still wasn’t enough. I ended up cooking the bacon for about 10 minutes. It came out decently crispy but slightly chewy. I wouldn’t recommend this for someone who likes really crispy bacon. I cooked 5 pieces in the bacon wave and it was decently filled with bacon grease. I would be worried that if I filled the whole thing the grease may overflow into the microwave, especially with thicker bacon (I’m not sure using thinker bacon would be a good idea with this product). The instructions also state that putting the pieces of bacon close together is better then spacing them because they cook better. In one tray I placed the bacon close together and in the other I spaced them out. In the end it did not seem to make a difference. One last thing is that the bacon slices can be a little long for the bacon wave so you have to fold the ends along the side. The bacon does shrink during cooking so it’s not that big of a deal unless you’re using thick bacon that doesn’t fold as well. Then it may drip grease outside the tray. Overall the bacon was good. It is dishwasher safe but may naturally warp over time.Also with potential bacon grease splatter during cooking you’ll have to make sure to clean your microwave regularly.

Probably the only way I’ll cook bacon again.

It cooks the bacon very well in the microwave. Easy to clean.

I like this product because it cooks the bacon well, the fat drains off the bacon while it is cooking, and it is easy to clean after use.

The Bacon Wave is the perfect way to cook bacon. I’ve owned two at a time for over twenty years. Why two? I’ll tell you.
First let me preface my long ‘review’ by stating that I have read a multitude of reviews on Amazon from people who have bought the Bacon Wave.
The folks who deride it as junk are not the folks with superior intellect. Yea the directions say you can cook 14 slices of bacon at once, you can’t unless you want to let the microwave run for twenty minutes. Not good for energy consumption, not good for the Bacon Wave and you’ll still have outside slices burnt to a crisp and the inside slices boiled not browned.
The trick is to experiment. If you are cooking thin-normal slices like Oscar Mayer, seven is the maximum number per tray. In my 1200 watt oven that’s 4- 4 1/2 minutes for crispy. Always put the slices in every other ‘slot’. One in #1, one in # 3, one in #5, etc.
If you’re cooking Smithfield bacon or any other thicker bacon, don’t put more than five in a tray. Same cooking time 4 mins approx. You have to experiment to determine to what ‘doneness’ you desire. Also, put the thickest slices on the perimeter, the thinnest slices in the middle.
Always, always, always drain the grease from the tray after each use and let the tray cool. That’s why I use two trays. I drain the grease into a plastic Folgers coffee container. I then use that pure bacon grease for frying pork chops, they taste wonderful!.
Another tip: The first batch will cook/brown faster than any other subsequent batch because the water exuded from the bacon humidifies the atmosphere inside the microwave. Your second batch will be just as cooked, but not as browned because of the moisture in the microwave. I leave the microwave door open and wave a newspaper to exchange the air and thus provide a drier environment for the next batch.
Also, don’t use the plastic skewers that come with the Bacon Wave. Sooner or later they will fall down the sink drain, or melt in the bottom of your diswasher. Buy 8″ wood skewers and toss them when you’re done.
My Routine: Lay out two trays, Place at most seven slices in every other slot in each tray (thin ones in the middle, thicker ones outside). Bunch the bacon so that the ends don’t hang more than a bit over the outside of the tray. Try to separate them, no touch zone ( chuckle). Use the 8″ wooden skewers. Put one tray in and cook about 4 minutes for crisp bacon. When done, put on a napkin laded ceramic plate and keep in a 170 degree oven. DRAIN the grease from the tray and let cool.
Make like a fan with a newspaper, magazine, etal. and ‘swat’ the humid, warm air from the microwave, a ten second job that’s worth it.
Cook the next tray a little bit longer, 15 secs.? Then do the same thing, remove the bacon from the skewers onto the ceramic plate. Put the bacon in a warm oven. DRAIN the grease from the tray. Vent the microwave with the least favorite section of the newspaper… 😉 and let the tray cool. “Cool” is down to less than the 120 (guess) that the tray reaches while cooking.
Take the first tray and load it up with bacon. Take the scond tray and load it up also. Put the first tray in the microwave, and away we go! When done, DRAIN the grease. Second tray in, same story.
Also, when the cooking is over, let the trays cool to room temp. Then rinse them with very HOT water and put them on the top shelf of the dishwasher. Generally, mine have lasted 7 – 9 years using my method. $30 for two in that span, I’m happy with the Bacon Wave.

a good product, but unfortunately my microwave was too small to handle the plate.
