Microwaving bacon typically does not result in crispy bacon. The microwave cooking method tends to steam or render the fat in the bacon, which can make it more soft and chewy rather than crispy.
Crispy bacon is typically achieved by cooking it in a dry heat environment, such as frying it in a pan on the stovetop or baking it in an oven. These methods allow the bacon to crisp up by rendering its fat and allowing it to cook in its own grease. The direct contact with the hot surface or dry oven heat helps to achieve the desired crispy texture.
However, if you prefer a softer texture or are looking for a quick and convenient way to cook bacon, microwaving can still be an option. Just keep in mind that it will likely result in a softer, less crispy outcome. If you do choose to microwave bacon, it's a good idea to place it on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. This can help to reduce sogginess and provide some texture to the bacon.
