Gadgets: Microwave bacon cooker rack

This cooker allows the bacon to cook in air and not in fat. The cooker is easy to use; hang the bacon over the 'T' bars, place one sheet of paper towel over the bacon to minimise fat spatters.

Microwave for 3-7 minutes depending on how thick or fat your bacon is and how crisp you want it. With the right amount of time, you should have crispy bacon with 35 per cent less fat, as the fat drips away from bacon and into the tray.

One can cook up to 450 grams of bacon at a time, the rack is dishwasher safe and the three 'T' shapes take up little space. It costs Sh1,200.
