brown strips of bacon in about five minutes. Just drape bacon over the rim of the cooker, cover it with a paper towel, and heat it in the microwave for about one minute per slice. The bacon cooks quickly and evenly, while the fat collects in the rim, where it can be poured off. Each cooker is hand-thrown and glazed, then fired for lasting beauty and durability. Dishwasher safe. Color may vary. Approx. 5.5'' tall x 6'' dia.
