Review 4. The Bacon Browning Plate
Who doesn't like a bacon sarnie?
And in my humble opinion, anything that can speed up the production of such a delicacy must be tried and tested.
And should this be simple or what! ... layout your rashers on a plate, wack 'em in the microwave, and 20 seconds later remove two rashers of perfectly cooked bacon and slide them between two slices of bread and butter, with a generous dollop of HP.
Well I could not resist having a go at this, send off my £3.99, and wait with anticipation.
*** 2 days later ***
I am slightly concerned that my new BACON BROWNING PLATE does not seem to be any different to any other plate I own, but I guess it must have some special coating to make it work.
I am stunned to find that it comes with instructions, and dissapointed that it recommends washing it before use ... I can't be bothered to wait for that and, by sleight of hand, 2 rashers of Unsmoked Back are soon laying there in all there glory.
Reading the instructions I decide to go for "super crispy", place the plate into the microwave, set at 800w for 30 seconds, and wander off to find some HP sauce whilst the plate works its magic.
DING! - the sound I have been waiting two days to here, and I am almost quivering with anticipation.
The Microwave door swings open half way (it always was a tease), and the smell of bacon wafts out into the kitchen ... so did it work?
Test Result:
If this bacon is crispy my aunt is the queens cousin!
The cloak of dissapointment sits heavily around my shoulders.
Laying there as limp as a faggot's chuff I drown the bacon in HP and cover carefully with the other slice, say three Hail Mary's and allow it to side slowly into the bin.
But never mind ... I am on the trail of a plastic tube that keeps a bananna fresh (have you ever heard of a better idea).
