I have never tried cooking bacon in it. It seems like it would be a lot messier than cooking bacon in the microwave.

Sorry, never cooked bacon in it. Actually, I sent this back to Amazon because the top and bottom plates kept falling out.

Never tried but don't see why it wouldn't .... just keep an eye on drip drawer.

Sorry, I've never tried regular bacon on it (I buy the fully cooked kind because I hate dealing with all the grease of regular bacon) but my guess is that while it would keep the bacon nice and flat and cook both sides at once, the "wells" for the grease would overflow unless you were just cooking 2-3 slices. Love my little Griddler; use it for so many things.

Absolutely - I have a 1200 watt General Electric that came with a turntable and I have done bacon with the turntable both on and off. I think the bacon cooks a little faster with the turntable off but the cooking is more uniform with the turntable on.

We've used it for sausages. I'm going to try hot dogs next. We found for bacon that 3 1/2 mins works better than 4 minutes for 4 slices.

Yes, While I haven't tried it. Cooking bacon on the rack on the pan is suppose to deliver excellent results.

I cut my bacon in half, put 6 to 8 slices on a couple layers of good paper towels, cover and cook on high for 2 minutes. Give it another 30 seconds if necessary. Bacon varies a lot by brand.

This is the product for you! The bacon is not black but extremely crispy. It took us some time to learn it, but we do 6 pieces of bacon, fatty side down, for 12-15 mins. Be sure to have a cover for this product as the bacon splatters all over.

There is some splatter but most drippings are contained. The bacon is delicious and fast with this cooker

I just cooked some today and I have found out that the time they give you in the recipe book is always, not enough time. It cooks bacon perfect without burning it or drying it out or frying it too crisp. I love my grill and do most everything that requires frying in a skillet. You just have to found out much time it takes to cook it the way you want it.

Better to under cook than over cook. If bacon is not done, I have successfully added more time.

Yes it does and I don't refrigerate my bacon drippings. I keep it on the stove.

I have used mine to cook bacon, and I have had no trouble with it. I put it on a baking sheet, and it cooks perfectly, I have not noticed an unusual smell, but I have not cooked anything as high as you. Hope you can figure it out.

I literally bake everything on it. I have not tried bacon though. The only thing that will damage it is cutting it or putting it in the dishwasher. At least that is my experience

It's doesn't leave quite as strong a bacon flavor as what I remember from my granny's cooking. But it's just a small difference in intensity. Presumably because of the filtering. The flavor itself is spot-on.

Sure. The microwave can produce "undercooked" to "burnt to a crisp" bacon. It all depends on the cooking time.

We experimented and fried some bacon and used this product...the fried bacon was crispy and greasy, the microwaved bacon was crispy and not greasy. Both I and a friend are in LOVE with this product....no splatters, no greasy clean-up, just simply pour grease into a container. Only drawback is you can't cook as much bacon at once....and I found for a full rack 5 - 6 minutes perfect. NO, this bacon is not limpy! I highly recommend it and so thankful my friend found it in a catalog. If you have any further questions...let me know.
