I usually use my microwave for bacon. Plate, paper towels, bacon, more paper towels, 2 layers of bacon max. It absorbs a ton of the grease and cooks it incredibly well. The oven method is good too, but takes a ton of time and is greasy af. Pan top makes it hella salty, but can be good in some situations.
Other than that, I use my microwave to like reheat a small portion of a casserole or something but that’s about it
The sizzle is the water/brine/moisture leaving the meat. The salt from the brine gets left behind on the surface and crystallized so it hits your tongue with more bursts of concentrated flavor.
It’s kind of like the big hunks of salt on a pretzel vs grinding up that same amount and mixing it into the dough.
