What's great about the micro is how easy it is to take with you
even to a small place such as a single room with a bath down the
hall. It's a great gadget. I'm not one who eats typical breakfast
food every day. I enjoy that sort of thing as a treat, once a month
or even less. I know bacon can be made in the micro with paper towels
placed on top. Most people I know who claim to like bacon prefer it
cooked till it looks like beef jerky. I actually prefer it kind of
soft with just a hint of crisp to it. I might not eat something like
bacon for 6 months, then one night put a whole pound of it in a
skillet and then dip into it over the course of the night, especially
if I'm on my way to getting drunk.
