How to cook crispy, delicious bacon in a microwave

 There are two things in life, top of mind in the lives of okes and old farts when it comes to cooking:

1.  When in doubt, use bacon (bacon makes everything better) and
2. Sometimes you just want to eat something tasty and delicious without faffing about with pots or pans and having to clean up afterwards.

 We've all been there. The beers are cold and the game is about to start when the urge for a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich strikes. But firing up the stove and the prospect scrubbing a pan afterwards, is about as inviting as plucking your nose hairs with the pliers of your Leatherman.
 But all is not lost. You can cook bacon in a microwave and have it come out, crisp and delicious, with no clean up required afterwards.
 To cook bacon in the microwave you will need a microwave-safe dish and three paper towels.
 This article on Startcooking.com explains exactly how to do it.
 A general rule-of-thumb is, cook it for one minute per piece ie. if you have two strips of bacon, cook them for two minutes, with the microwave setting on high.
