Best invention since sliced Bacon!

So, I have bought bacon gadgets for the microwave and stove, probably about a half dozen things over time, but this is the Ultimate Bacon Cooking Tool! First off, I looked on another site and saw a review with pictures and it was given an Ok review. You can only use 5 slices at a time and need to make sure you don’t stream him the bacon as you unpack it. Then if you do thick bacon, you must flip it half way through, but if you use regular cut bacon it works better and requires no flipping. From cold it takes 4-5 mins to cook 4 slices, from hot it takes about 3 minutes. I hear most people who say it’s not good, because it cooks so little, but you can realistically cook a full pack of 15 slices of bacon in 10 to 12 mins. For 3 or 4 people wanting eggs cooked separate for breakfast and in different ways, I get the bacon cooked before the eggs are done!!! Also remember, grease drains off, so you are left with crispy and less greasy bacon!!!
Best invention since Sliced Bacon!!!!!

Good for decreasing mess with cooking bacon

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. Bacon press works pretty well. Bacon cooks quickly and the mess is minimal, which I love. Cooking is a little bit uneven but otherwise ok. Griddle space is small, but the lip around it keeps things like eggs from running off the side. 2 prong plug is nice so it works anywhere. We will be taking it with us in our RV. Unfortunately, this must've been a return as we could tell it was used prior to us. Residual foodstuff on griddle, so kind of gross. Otherwise a good product.

This thing makes amazing bacon! Once you let it heat up it only takes 2.5-3 minutes. You can only get 4 or 5 pieces on at a time, but since it cooks fast it doesn’t bother me. The griddles are small. If you’re cooking for one person it would probably have enough room to make pancakes or eggs, but it seems easier just to do that in a pan while the bacon cooks.
For me not having to watch or flip bacon while I cook everything else makes this worth it.

Nice little electric griddle for camping and travel use. Purchased this to be powered by a portable battery power station while road tripping. Overall a decent portable appliance that doesn’t draw too many watts. For home use, this is a small and compact appliance, so check specifications to know what you are getting.

My wife loves making bacon in this. My parents loved the bacon when they tried it and ended up getting their own. Cant go wrong here! very easy to use but no timer on this one so if you forget about the bacon it will get too done

I bought this for the sole purpose of making crispy bacon. This product is very easy to use and makes crispy bacon. My only issue is that it is a little small.

We've been looking for ways to get away from using the microwave and we always made bacon in it so this was a perfect find. Easy to clean as well, love the drip pan for the bacon grease.

It works pretty good. I thought you could cook the bacon and use the griddles at the same time as it showed in the advertisement, but to cook bacon you need to fold the sides up to surround the bacon with heat. Also be very careful the Bacon cooks very fast. Overall I like it because it is compact to store and perfect size for cooking for two.

Nifty little machine

This works as designed, heats up in 3 minutes flat. But as another poster mentioned your bacon will not be as juicy, since all of the grease drips down into the grease tray underneath. So what you lose in juiciness you gain in healthier bacon (if that can even be considered a thing LOL),
I wish it had:
1) Its own timer, ex: X minutes for chewy, X minutes for crispy (I just use my microwave's timer)
2) On/Off button (I can see my self more concerned with devouring my breakfast of bacon and eggs and forgetting to unplug)
3) Removable griddle plates as well to just drop in the dishwasher, but not really a big deal as they wipe off easily. Only the middle part that you drape the bacon over is removable.
But for the current price point I guess you can't expect too many fancy features.
All in all, I'm pleased with this bacon maker, no more grease splattered stovetop.

I only bought it because it was ‘the deal of the day’ for $14 and glad I only paid $14, any dollar more I would of regretted it. Don’t get me wrong, it cooks the bacon (5 pieces at a time) and has a small griddle but the amount of cleaning that has to be done after it crazy, there’s still grease that’s left inside the base, I new this was going to be a problem but my 3 stars is on the over all product and how safe and easy it is along with getting it ready for a clean future use. Would actually be 5 stars and perfect for hotels and camping.

This makes cooking a one step. The thick bacon doesn't fit well. The bacon didn't cook well. I had to flip over to cook all the way. Then it cooked to hard.

So far it has been great we have used it camping twice now. I can just pack it and the hot plate for all my cooking needs. In fact we bought a back. Wish it would go back on sell for 14.99 so I could give it as a gift.

This works exactly as promised. It is great for college students in limited space apartments and for folks with many appliances who don't want to bother to drag out a full size griddle. Perfect for a quick grilled cheese.

I can use this bacon press & griddle at balcony and the oil drips into the container at bottom, no spilled or spread. The bacon is flat no burnt. After cook, empty the oil at the bottom container and put it in dish washer. You can pull out the middle burner to clean it. The griddle can have 5 pieces of bacon at one time. It is good for a small family.

Love the Bacon Press & Griddle. There is no shrinkage of the bacon. Less grease on bacon. It comes out just like the restaurant bacon. It cooks fast.
