What is the Bacon Boss?
The Bacon Boss is a specially designed pan for cooking bacon in the microwave or oven. It consists of a ridged cooking plate with a tempered glass lid that locks down firmly.
The ridges lift the bacon off the grease allowing for crispy results. The tight-fitting lid traps in heat and juices for quick even cooking. Excess grease drains off into the base keeping your microwave or oven clean.
With the Bacon Boss up to 14 slices of bacon can be cooked at once with no splattering mess! It’s a must-have gadget for any bacon enthusiast.
Before You Begin – Bacon Prep Tips
- Select high-quality, thick cut bacon without any defects
- Make sure bacon is at room temperature before cooking
- Line up bacon slices side by side in ridges without overlapping
- Use regular or thin cut – thick cut requires longer cook time
- No need to pre-cook the bacon before placing in the Bacon Boss
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Bacon Boss
1. Preheat Your Bacon Boss
Before placing bacon in the Bacon Boss, preheat it briefly. This helps the bacon start cooking immediately.
Microwave – Heat for 20-30 seconds on high power
Oven – Place Bacon Boss in 400°F oven for 2-3 minutes
2. Load the Bacon Into the Ridged Plate
Arrange bacon slices side-by-side in the grooves of the ridged plate. Make sure bacon lays flat and doesn’t overlap.
3. Lock the Lid Down Tightly
Place the tempered glass lid on top of the bacon then crank the handle to lock it down tightly. This ensures even contact with the ridges below.
4. Cook the Bacon
Microwave – Cook on high in 1 minute increments, checking often. Cook 2-4 minutes total depending on crispiness desired.
Oven – Bake at 400°F for 8-14 minutes depending on desired crispness. Check frequently near the end.
5. Remove, Drain and Enjoy!
Once cooked to perfection, remove bacon from the Bacon Boss and transfer to paper towels to drain. Be cautious of hot grease. Enjoy your crispy bacon!
6. Clean the Bacon Boss
Allow Bacon Boss to cool fully before cleaning. Wipe out grease with paper towels. Wash with soap and water or place in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
