Actually, try putting it in the microwave for about 3-4 minutes. depending on the amount of bacon. The bacon will come out nice and crispy! Check it every ten seconds or so.

Just be sure to cover it with a paper towel, or it will splatter all over your microwave.

Otherwise, put the bacon into a cold pan with a very little oil, turn the heat on to medium and turn the bacon over when one side is crisp.

Whichever way you cook bacon, it's usually a good idea to snip into the fat at intervals, from the rind edge in (even if the bacon is rindless) to stop the bacon from curling too much as it cooks. Scissors are the best tool for cutting bacon.

Covering the pan with a splatterguard or a sheet of paper will stop the far splattering and save on cleaning afterwards. Leave the bacon to drain on kitchen paper, to keep it crisp before putting it on the plate.

If you're using only the lean part of bacon, say for a casserole or pasta sauce, use scissors to cut off the fat and snip it into 1 inch (2-3 centimeter) pieces; put it in a cold pan, turn on heat and cook until crisp.

Drain on kitchen paper: it's a great snack, or good to top a casserole on serving.

The fat left in the pan can be used, with a little olive oil, to cook your onions, lean bacon, and so on, for the casserole or sauce; the flavor will be great.

Will bacon cook with scrambled egg?

yes and no. It takes bacon a lot longer to cook, so you would need to add the eggs to the pan when your bacon is almost done & your pan is large enough, but your eggs may pick up a lot of extra grease and browning, which is not attractive. It is usually better to cook the bacon, pour out the excess grease & then you can do your eggs in the same pan. If you are talking about adding bacon pieces to cook with scrambled eggs, that will not work as the bacon needs so much longer to cook. You can add crumbled COOKED bacon to scrambled eggs though.

Does bacon cook well on a gas grill with smoker?

Bacon is one of those delicate meats that needs to be cooked carefully in order to avoid burning it. You CAN cook bacon on a gas smoker grill, but you would need the heat VERY low, in order to slowly cook it and get the Smokey flavor in it.
