The bacon slices should be spread on a plate covered with a paper towel layer in such a way that the edges of the slices do not touch each other or overlap. The bacon should also be covered with a paper towel from above. Then place the plate in the microwave, set its power to the highest value; it may vary depending on the microwave, so the cooking time may also vary. So that the bacon is baked evenly, the best is a microwave with a carousel, if your microwave does not have it, it is worth turning the plate by hand every half minute.

If the highest power of the oven is 1000 W, then the baking time will be about 2-3 minutes, but it is advisable to observe the baking and check the effects after a time and possibly extend the baking time.
