Place two paper towels on top of a microwave safe plate.
Lay the bacon in an even layer on the plate, keeping the strips from touching each other.
Place two more paper towels on top of the bacon.
Cook the bacon in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes, until cooked to your desired doneness. If the bacon isn’t done after 4 minutes, cook in 30 second intervals until crispy.
Allow to cool on the plate for around 2 minutes before serving.
