I use a combination method for an ordinary morning. (mcinl, natch) I
put 4 slices of bacon between paper towels and zap for a minute, then
put it in the pan and fry it. The preliminary zapping facilitates
separating the pieces and also eliminates any tendency for them to
curl in the pan. The pan can be heating while the bacon is in the
microwave.

Oh, I like the combo trick, which seems it would have both the quickness of
the microwave and the crispness of the skillet.
