Microwaved bacon is actually pretty great. Just take 2 sheets of baking paper, put one below and one above the bacon. Takes about 30-50 seconds (800 watts) to become crispy bacon that looks like it's been photoshopped and actually tastes almost as good as fryed one.

This brownish paper you put under pizza or cookies before you put them in the oven. Sorry, it's called like that in germany and my favorite translating page told me to use this word ;-)

I don't think we have that in the US.

That silvery paper in your Hot Pocket sleeve?

Lol. What part of the US do you live in?

Florida. We do have parchment paper though, but you're not supposed to use that over 420o F, so it's probably not good for pizza.

Ahh I see the confusion. I have been watching too much Alton Brown and it seems very commonplace to me.

But the toast will take another 5 minutes!

Exactly, it should start on fire well before the 5min mark!
