#45 To Cook Bacon In The Microwave

Started cooking bacon in the air fryer but it set off the smoke alarms. Tried to finish cooking it in the microwave but got sidetracked.

That started out as 3 strips of bacon. The 2 pieces you can’t make out were disintegrated. Only had eggs and one piece of (delicious, well done!) bacon that morning.

The odor is still there a week later.
