The Makin' Bacon is easy to use: You just drape bacon strips on the gizmo's wings, place the gadget in the microwave and set the timer to one minute per slice. The splatter-free device cooks the bacon to a perfect crisp, and the tray catches the fat that drips away (you can throw that away or save it for frying other foods).

Cooking the bacon in the air rather than the grease reduces the fat content by 35%, according to the company. "Life changer!" says a bacon aficionado. "Easy to use, fries bacon to crispness quickly, reduced grease, easy to clean. Since I bought it, I have definitely increased my bacon intake."

The cleanup is super easy, too — just chuck the Makin' Bacon in the dishwasher! It's made in the USA with high heat plastic, so it won't melt as your breakfast cooks.

"This is the only way I will cook bacon!" another bacon lover shared. "The instructions are on the bottom of the unit so you don't have to save a box or booklet. It says start with 30 seconds per piece of bacon. I use an entire pack of bacon and start with six minutes. I adjust the time after that to get very crispy results, usually another three minutes. It's easy to save the bacon fat in a jar or cup for cooking."

"This is the best little gadget I have tried in a long time," shared another five-star reviewer. "I lay a paper towel on top and fold to drape over the edges to catch the splatters, program for 1 minute per slice of bacon, and that is it...I usually spread them out, cooking four at a time, and four minutes are about right. I save bacon drippings for seasoning some vegetables, so it is caught in the little tray and all I have to do is pour it into a container and save."

"Awesomeness!" raved a shopper. "This became an instant hit as soon as I received it. Everyone in my home was immediately enthralled as soon as I started using it and the house smelled like bacon. I swear they floated through the house and into the kitchen, as seen in cartoons, in search of bacony goodness. Only to be baffled by the kick of a frying pan or the oven bacon pan. The joy and wonder of their faces as I explained this devices usage and the following demonstration was like the sun bursting through on a cloudy day. They've become addicted to the speed in which they can cook and eat bacon treats. I can only wish that everyone who loves bacon can have one if these in their lives!"

Even bacon snobs love it! Shares one: "I am such a bacon fan, and in the past refused to eat it unless it was prepared properly — in the frying pan.... This product works great! The bacon is cooked perfectly and comes out crispy. You just have to experiment until you find the exact cooking time for your microwave. I drape the bacon over all 3 racks and cook it for 3 minutes. Perfect!"
