Does it turn out as crispy? And would it be like for two minutes?
Depends on the how many slices, wattage of the microwave, and how long it is put in for.
8-10 slices on high for 7-8 minutes, they will come out looking like #2 or #3. Then letting them cool uncovered on the counter, they'll finish cooking themselves from the radiant heat to between #3 or #4.
Once you figure out the general timing for your microwave, then you can get the perfect bacon that you like.
There is also the suggestion from the other reply you got. I never had one of those trays, but for people that I have known that have it, it can work pretty well too. My only issue with them is that it's a single purpose kitchen tool, unlike a plate that can be used for many things besides bacon. Anyway, I'm rambling.
Thanks!! I appreciate the detailed info. I’ll try it out, but as you mention probably not buy a bacon microwave pan. 😅
I replied, but I realized I didn't answer your question. Yes, it can be crispy.
