OTOH, we do the bacon on a plastic (or nylon, or somethihg) rack made
especially for the purpose. Lay the bacon on the rack, then set the
rack on a microwave safe dinner plate. When the bacon is done, we pour
the fat off into a jar kept for the purpose, then use it as needed.
NOTHING is wasted in my kitchen.
