Abstract
A microwave bacon cooker device and method are provided including a tray having a bottom and an upstanding side. Two inverted V-shaped racks are positioned in the tray for supporting bacon strips over the tray during cooking, each rack including first and second panels defining each V-shaped rack. The first and second panels further define a gap at an apex of the V-shape sized for receipt of a utensil for handling the bacon strips after cooking. Each rack is separable from the tray, and each rack is separable into first and second panels. The panels mount to one another with a post and socket arrangement. The separable racks and the separable panels facilitate cleaning and compact storage. The tray includes a rectangular inner perimeter for receiving the racks, and a handle surrounding an outer periphery of the tray defining a circular shape. Each panel of the rack includes air ventilation holes, and legs for supporting the panel above the bottom of the tray.
