Improved & Convenient Bacon No-Mess Solution
Berrier27012 - 3 out of 5 stars review5/18/2020I find it a great option thick cut bacon, 3 minutes in a microwave no mess no fuss and good to go! Second time I'm buying it and will continue to as long as they make it.
Very good
Melissa - 5 out of 5 stars review12/6/2023BzzAgent sent me this product in exchange for a review. I honestly love this. I hate cooking bacon and dealing with the grease splatter so this is perfect. The packaging is convenient and cooking instructions are clear. I ended up cooking it a minute longer than expected as I like my bacon crisper. It was absolutely delicious and I'd definitely but it again.
Yum!
CourtnieC13 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/17/2023I usually don’t like to microwave my bacon and didn’t think this would be good but I was pleasantly surprised. I must say this bacon is very good. It doesn’t under cook or over cook. It’s just right. I like that it has a towel in the bottom of the package to obsorb the excess grease. The texture isn’t rubbery but crispy. The bacon doesn’t shrink up and there isn’t a mess to clean-up. It’s quick and easy. Pop it in the microwave and go. Love it.
Simply Delicious
SgtJo15 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/4/2023This was the first time trying Hormel Black Label Microwave Ready To Eat Bacon. Even though I love bacon I hate cooking it because of all the mess it makes and the grease clean up afterwards. This was so easy cook, no mess at all to clean up being sealed in the plastic pouch and only took only 3 minutes with my microwave. The bacon was crispy delicious and flavorful, not greasy at all . This is so perfect for my hectic mornings to make a quick breakfast. I also took it a pack to work and cooked it there so I could make a BLT. This way if cooking bacon is a game changer for our family. I highly recommend this product.
No Mess, Quick To Cook Crispy Delicious Bacon
insightfulheart - 5 out of 5 stars review12/7/2023I am so happy I decided to get this bacon for my husband and I to try. It looks like regular bacon in the pack. I love that it's a pack of 4, makes it easier for serving sizes. It was so easy to cook in the microwave and it smelled like bacon! OMG the taste, it tasted just like bacon you fry! I highly recommend this bacon.
SO GOOD! Left Us Wanting MORE!
Kennerchick - 3 out of 5 stars review12/2/2023I was given the opportunity to try this bacon and I had high hopes. The first bag I did was not done in the recommended time. The second bag was better -- 45 seconds over the recommended time. It tasted more salty than "bacon-y," and it was too thin for my liking, but it put dinner (hey it was Brinner night) on the table fairly quickly and my kids ate it. I'll stick to the oven and thicker slices.
Convenient, but lackluster.
Brittany HHormel Foods® TeamHey Brittany H, please contact us at cresponse@hormel.com so that we can gather more product details from you. Thanks! - 3 out of 5 stars review12/4/2023I think this is great for anyone who needs convenience or just doesn't like bacon but it wouldn't be my go to. The taste was good but the texture was an issue for me. I'm a crispy bacon gal and cooking per the instructions gave me limp bacon. I added another minute and it looked done but never got crispy and kept shriveling more and more. I didn't hate it, didn't love it.
Easy and convenient but not my fav
MegW - 5 out of 5 stars review12/15/2023I received a free sample of this bacon and I love it! I usually buy their precooked bacon but this is a step above! It is easy to make, I like my a bit crispy and 3 minutes, 30 seconds makes it perfect for me in my 1200 watt microwave. It doesn’t make a mess in your microwave because you keep the plastic bag closed while cooking…that being said it does look like it might pop open during cooking but it doesn’t! It’s quick to make and love its thicker sliced than most microwave bacon. I will always have this on my shopping list from now on!
Crisp Microwave Bacon…Yum!
AIMIFER - 3 out of 5 stars review12/4/2023I recieved this product for an honest review. While this product is better than expeced it is lacking in what I like in bacon. I want my bacon to be thick and very lean. This was not paper thin, but I would not consider it thick and it was not as lean as I like either. The flavor was good.
Better than expected
DebB - 4 out of 5 stars review12/12/2023Thanks to Hormel for sending me a sample of Hormel Black Label Microwave Ready Bacon for free so that I can review it. This was my family's first time trying microwave ready bacon and it left us with mixed reviews. We loved the idea of the bacon being mess free and easy to cook even for my teenager. The first packet was instant success. The bacon was crispy and didn't taste like it was cooked in the microwave. The bacon lovers in my family gave it as pass grade as well. I agree with other reviews that the size of the bacon plays a role in the consistency of the results. There is definitely a small learning curve considering my daughter burned the last packet following the directions to the t. Overall, I would buy the bacon and recommend it ...
I can't believe it came out of a microwave.
sglass85 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/1/2023I've never been a fan of microwave bacon, but this bacon has changed that! It produces consistently crispy flat bacon. It's higher quality than most you find in the grocery store, so it's good and convenient! I love having fresh cooked bacon in the morning. This bacon means I can have that even when I don't have time to fry and clean up!
Crispy, tasty, quick cooking, and stays flat
RJ - 5 out of 5 stars review12/7/2023I received this as a sample. Product tastes great and is super convenient. A little pricier that regular packaged bacon but like I said convenient. I could see me keeping both regular bacon on hand and this product. When I’m in a rush or need a little for a recipe I could use this product. Each individual package has 4 strips.
Very convenient.
Mcsean - 5 out of 5 stars review12/6/2023The Hormel Black label microwave ready bacon is fantastic. Considering that you microwave it I was skeptical at first but it does brown up and you can have great back in a short amount of time. The best part, NO grease splatters all over the stove! I would definitely buy this again. Great for bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich or anytime you are short on time but NEED bacon. The flavor is very good as well
Great bacon!
Quick bacon great taste - 4 out of 5 stars review12/6/2023Hormel sent me this product in exchange for my honest thoughts and feelings on this product. This product is extremely convenient. It comes with 8 packs of bacon. With 4 slices in each pack. So 32 slices of bacon in total. Each pack is about 1 serving size. Perfect for a single person living alone to conserve waste. You can freeze what you’re not using at the moment so that’s definitely another plus. In my opinion, the slices do shrink a lot once they’re done cooking, but after 2-3 minutes in the microwave you’re able to have perfectly crisp bacon. The meat to fat ratio on each slice is good also so it’s not too fatty. Overall it’s great if you want to pay for convenience, but I do think it’s overpriced and not worth the bucks for a big fam...
Convenience in a package!
FoodLover - 5 out of 5 stars review12/7/2023This may be the easiest way to get bacon short of buying the already cooked kind. All you have to do is pull out the little bag and throw it in the microwave. BOOM 3 minutes later perfectly cooked bacon. No mess and no hot crease to deal with. I love the convenience of the pull apart corners of the bag too. NO need to find kitchen scissors to get it open. Each packet contains 4 strips of bacon so this is ideal for cooking just enough for a sandwich or breakfast for one. I also like that if you are shopping in store it has flaps on the back of the box so you can actually see the bacon inside which is nice. This is never going to be the best value for buying bacon but it is super easy adn convenient and a nice thing to have in the frid...
Ridiculously Easy
DanyelN - 5 out of 5 stars review12/18/2023This bacon was so good. I cooked it for an extra minute because I like my bacon extra crispy. It was so nice not to have bacon grease everywhere. I made chicken carbonara for dinner. Made more for breakfast and still had some left. I received this product in exchange for my review. I've already recommended this to my friends and family. This will now be a staple in my house because It cooks in 3 min and had zero mess!
Bacon
Charli - 5 out of 5 stars review12/14/2023Just throw a bag in the microwave and get fresh cooked bacon, without the mess that comes from frying it in a pan. Great for mornings when you're trying to get out the door but you still want a good meal. The bacon itself is really meaty. It's high quality bacon.
Easy Microwave Bacon
Shannon5 - 4 out of 5 stars review1/5/2024Great microwave ready bacon. They come prepackaged in 4 piece portions of fairly decent sized bacon strips, instructions for reheated are easy to virtually no cleanup. They have a great taste to them and crisp up nicely compared to some microwave ready bacon that shrinks and becomes brittle. These also have a nice taste to them as compared to others.
Great bacon
DrewOrb93 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/6/2023****I received this product for free originally in exchange for writing an honest review.*** This product is delicious! Better than other bacon products I tried. Cooking directions were accurate. Little or no mess compared to traditional bacon prep. I liked the separate packs in the Master Pack. I will buy this product in the future, and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
Delicious and convenient
