Cameron Cookware Mak'n Bacon Reviews

• Simply Incredible

  
  By A16J6UAOKC6XT1 on 2007-05-16
  Makin Bacon is great ... unlike the other reviews I've never had problems with this product at all. 6-7 minutes in the microwave and you get the crispiest tasty bacon I have ever had! When cooked just place on a paper towel for a minute and that's it. Then dump the grease and throw the entire thing in the dishwasher - fits easily - take up same space as normal dinner plate.
  
  

• Gotta Have It

  I bought this bacon maker for myself years ago, and it's the best that I have owned. I had to go out and purchase more of them as a gift. It is durable, easy to use, and makes great bacon.
  
  

• Can't live without it!

  
  By A1J9NP2V4LDZI7 on 2007-12-07
  I eat bacon almost every morning. I had my first Mak'n Bacon years ago. I've bought one for all my family. I've had a couple people say they didn't think it would completely cook the bacon. They must not be leaving it in long enough. I've found that each bacon package cooks different so you have to adjust the length of time. This product is so easy to use and keeps the mess to a minimum. I couldn't live without mine!
  
  
  

• Does Not Work

  
  By A2CF883VY288G0 on 2007-12-19
  Contray to the other reviews, this unit does not work for anything over 4 pieces. The reason is that the strips hang vertically and you end up getting half-cooked results. We used it for just 3 days and have come back here to get the Presto 5100 which works perfectly.
  
  We had one of the Presto models in the past, and, as you can see by their product, the strips hang 'apart' from each other for an almost 100% cooking result.
  
  The "Mak'n Bacon" is going in the trash.
  
  

• Bacon - Fast & Easy

  
  By A3GITLD8QRYQ77 on 2006-11-07
  Bacon has always been a family treat for breakfast on the weekends, due to the time it takes to cook and clean-up. However, with this bacon cooker we can have bacon any day of the week in just a few minutes with no mess! The cooker works great, but avoid trying to cook too much bacon at one time otherwise it will cook unevenly. 12 pieces as pictured on the box is too much. I recommend only cooking 6 pieces at a time (one per row), but try it for yourself.
  
  
• Make bacon in your microwave
  By ATEZJ32C0ZBLB on 2007-03-14
  I've used one of these for years. It is so easy, and the fat winds up in the tray, eliminating much of the unhealthy aspect of eating bacon. You can make up to eight pieces at a time, or you can remove one or two T's and hang only a couple of strips if you like. I remove it after two minutes and pull the bacon apart if the ends are sticking together. It can also be repositioned if the slices are not cooking uniformly. Then I return it to the oven and cook a minute or two more, depending on how many strips are on the T's and how crisp I want it to be. I wrap the finished bacon in a paper towel while my eggs are frying. The Mak'n Bacon washes easily, unlike one of those Microwave bacon trays with the ridges.
  
  
• Bacon Maker
  By AMDX6CD7RVWYL on 2007-11-29
  This is a great idea and for someone at the age of 8 to invent this it's such an easy way of making bacon without a mess. I highly recommend this product and love making bacon now.
  
  
• Cheesy, but not cheap!!!
  By ACA1S6YLMP1CR on 2006-11-05
  Mak'n Bacon made "bacon" for the company that sells this product.
  Cheesy material, but not cheap.
  Hard to get all the bacon cooked without the tray getting too warm.
  Of course after you use it, you can't return it for your money back.
  Easier and cheaper to use paper towels.
  
  
  
  
• Great way to make bacon
  By A1NET1WBCWBG84 on 2007-12-31
  Impressive. Mak'n Bacon is the easiest way to make bacon in the microwave that I've seen. If you can deal with 'bent bacon', then this is what you need to purchase.

  We have one micro bacon dish and just ordered this for our son who is well pleased.
  
  
• the best!
  By A3Q0O0SHX5B275 on 2008-01-08
  This is the best bacon cooker on the market! Easy to use, easy to clean, and healthier way to cook bacon rather than laying it in the grease. This young lady who invented "makin bacon" certainly needs to hear what a wonderful product she came up with! I ordered them for all of my friends for Christmas and they LOVE it!
  
  
• Quick & easy to use
  By AAKG83W5XHEH on 2008-01-18
  Cooks bacon to perfection in microwave oven. The fat drips off into the tray beneath. Just wipe it out with a paper towel. Couldn't be easier. Much healthier too.
  
  
• Great product -- EASY TO CLEAN!
  By A1H7CKOA2DQJU0 on 2008-02-03
  My husband and I tried another bacon maker that was extremely hard to clean. So while at WalMart one day I found these in appliance aisle at a very reasonable price -- this one is so much easier to clean, because it comes apart for cleaning! (We don't have a dishwasher.) And it makes GREAT bacon. We highly recommend this one!!
  
  
• Mak'n Bacon
  By A71N7UFUG8SI3 on 2008-02-18
  Love this product. Was hard to find. You only have to use one paper towel to cover splatter & grease is easy to pour out. Just make sure that you take bacon off while still warm or your bacon will be folded in half. Only con is that you have to keep up with small piece that holds stands when storing.
  
  
• Still the Greatest Bacon Cooker in the World
  By A2M69DC5OFBSA0 on 2008-04-09
  This is the third of these I have owned. One got lost in moving, one got melted in the oven by mistake. I love really crisp bacon and this little devil really comes through. I also like to save some bacon fat for things that just have to have it to taste good. Every now and then, I can just dump the contents of the bacon booker into a little plastic tub and put in the fridge. I use disposable cups so that when I replace one, I can throw out the old one.
  
  It amazes me that a young girl came up with this idea. Hooray for her!
  
  
• Eating more bacon
  By A20G45LUAAXWID on 2008-04-15
  Cooking bacon is much easier and neater with the Mak'n Bacon. The bacon curls up a bit when it cooks but if you remove it from the rack immediately and lay it flat on a paper plate or paper towels it'll flatten out. You have to determine the cooking time...3 minutes worked well for me. Also very easy to clean. Great product!
  
  
• Easy to use for small bacon jobs
  By A1Q2C182M2VURF on 2008-05-06
  I really like this bacon cooker. It works best when I only want a few slices for my family. I can only cook about 4 to 5 slices because putting more than that will cause the bacon to stick together. You would have to pull the ends apart (and they're really hot) in order to get nice flat pieces of bacon. I usually drape the bacon all the way across the top of the T shapes. That way the ends don't stick together during cooking. It's easier to flatten the bacon out when cooking is finished. I like that the tray is really easy to clean. You just pour the grease off at the end of the cook time. Bacon is really crispy.
  
  
• great product!
  By A2PNM9T6CPBAVQ on 2008-05-15
  Can cook a whole package of bacon at one time and drain the fat. Only negative is that it comes out folded in half. I straighten them out on a plate while cooling. So far, I've seen no better product for this purpose.
  
  
• sure beats the frying pan !
  By A3KLI5S2UZWNTN on 2008-07-06
  Mak'n Bacon is a good product which works as expected. cooking is much faster, taste about the same, and clean-up a lot quicker than if using a frying pan.
  
  with my 1000w microwave, i make 4-6 slices in 2-3 minutes. with a paper towel covering, oven splatter is minimal, and washing the unit is easy, though some drippings need persuasion.
  
  i still prefer microwave cooking between doubled paper towels as compared to Mak'n Bacon, as the former gives nice flat pieces (great for BLTs !) and even less fat. otoh, timing is more critical there unless you enjoy paper fibers with your bacon.
  
  nits : the hanger parts are a small pain to keep track of, in the drawer or in the dishwasher. instructions embossed on the back of the unit are hard to read; black plastic might work better for that.
  
  i like it !
  
  
• It's okay - glad I got it
  By A307HRNZGWR85L on 2008-09-06
  It's a decent product. We're bacon eaters, so it's much easier than frying or turning on the oven. Bacon does stick together at the ends when it's cooking, so you have bacon 'circles' when it's time to eat. Much easier clean up than traditional frying/broiling methods.
