GETTING ACQUAINTED

Before using your Prestomicrowave bacon cooker, please read the following information.

This bacon cooker was specially designed to work in most microwave ovens. There are however a few ultra-compact models, with cavity sizes less than 6 inches tall by 10 inches wide, in which it will not fit.

If your microwave oven has a removable tray or turntable, be sure the tray or turntable is in place whenever you use your bacon cooker.

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash the racks and tray in hot, sudsy water, rinse and dry thoroughly, or wash in the dishwasher on the rack farthest away from the heating element. This is usually the top rack.

HOW TO USE

Follow these easy steps:

1.Assemble racks. Take two of the slotted panels, and with the rectangular sockets facing each other, insert the small sockets into the larger sockets, Fig. A, to form a tent shaped rack. Do the same with the other two panels. Set one assembled rack aside on one piece of paper toweling.

2.Place the other assembled rack upright in the drip tray so

the drainage openings are facing the open handles. Drape the desired number of bacon slices over the rack, Fig. B. Three to five slices will fit on each rack depending on the width of the bacon slices.

For best cooking results, do

not overlap the bacon slices. Note: Some bacon stretches easily, and as you place it on the racks, it may touch

the bottom of the drip tray. This is okay, since the bacon

will shrink up as it cooks.

3. While the other rack is still outside the drip tray, load it with bacon. Once the rack is loaded, carefully place it in the drip tray next to the other rack.

4. Cover bacon with one piece of paper toweling to reduce spattering. Note: Paper toweling should be free of recycled paper to be safe for microwave use.

5. Place the bacon cooker in the center of your microwave oven and set microwave timer, allowing at least 40 seconds per slice of bacon being cooked. Begin cooking. Cooking time will vary from 40 to 90 seconds per slice, depending on the individual microwave and the type, thickness and fat content of the bacon. Remain near microwave oven during cooking.

6. When the bacon is done, carefully remove the bacon cooker from the microwave oven using the handles surrounding the bacon cooker. Use caution when handling the bacon

cooker when it contains hot drippings.

7. Carefully remove the paper toweling. Remove bacon

by sliding a knife up under the bacon through the slot

at the top of the rack and lift upward, Fig. C. Flip the bacon over onto a plate covered with paper

toweling and flatten out.

For best results, remove bacon from racks immediately after cooking.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Allow drippings to cool slightly and then pour them from any of the four corners of the tray for disposal. Separate racks and wash panels and tray in hot, soapy water or wash in the dishwasher on the rack farthest away from the heating element. This is usually the top rack. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the bacon cooker.

Stack the slotted panels in the drip tray for compact storage.
