Bacon can be healthy when eaten in moderation.

Also baking the bacon is healthier than frying the bacon as well.

Bacon contains some essential micronutrients, including potassium, which supports bone health, heart health, muscle strength and prevents high blood pressure.

Bacon is both good for you and bacon is also bad for you.

Bacon can be healthy as long as it's eaten in moderation and not eaten in excess.

Bacon contains some essential micronutrients, including potassium, which supports bone health, heart health, muscle strength and prevents high blood pressure.

You can also find over 50% of the RDA of two essential minerals in bacon; selenium and phosphorus.

Don't make bacon a daily indulgence.

When you do treat yourself, keep the serving size small, and include antioxidant-rich fruits or vegetables in the meal whenever possible.

If you're a true bacon lover, cut way back on other processed meats to keep your total consumption of processed meat low.

Bacon can be microwaved.

You can microwave bacon.

Microwaving bacon takes around 30 seconds to a minute depending on the microwave.

Some microwaves are higher in power and will cook the bacon faster than another microwave would so you have to adjust the time to cook the bacon for your microwave.

However if you like your bacon crispy then it would take around 4 to 6 minutes.

To microwave bacon line a microwave-safe plate with 3 layers of paper towels.

Place the bacon on top, without overlapping.

Cover the bacon with another 2 layers of paper towels.

Microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes for crispy bacon or around 1 to 2 minutes for non crispy bacon.

You can microwave bacon without paper towels but the bacon cooks better in the microwave with paper towels.

You can also cook bacon in the oven as well or in a toaster oven.

But a microwave will quickly cook the bacon as well.
