- 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 review12/2/2023I received this product to try for free in exchange for my review. Pros: The bacon was super tasty. Not salty, and thick enough. Super convenient for kids or someone unfamiliar with microwave bacon. Cons: Wasteful and potentially harmful plastic. Not a fan of this method. I usually use two paper towels and that works for me. Not enough time makes the bacon chewy and not crisp. Too much and it's burned, and the plastic starts to shrivel. Given the extra cost and inability to chose a different amount than four slices, I would look elsewhere. Good flavor though!
Convenient, but.... issues.
txheat - 4 out of 5 stars review12/6/2023Hormel sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program. The bacon was easy to prepare and was ready quickly. I am a crispy bacon kind of person so the bacon was surprisingly up to my crispiness standards. I liked that it was packaged in portion sized packets so you didn't have to make the whole pack at once if you were just by yourself. For convenience alone, it's worth the 4 stars.
Hormel Black Label Bacon
Sadim24 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/7/2023I received this free product through BzzAgent and it did not disappoint. The bacon was packaged well andeasily that made for easy clean up. For microwave bacon this bacon was very delicious and crispy. My entire family loved it. I would highly recommend this product and will definitely be buying this in the future.
Convenient and so good!!!
mhlorino - 5 out of 5 stars review12/13/2023I love bacon but hate the amount of time and mess it takes to cook and clean. This microwave bacon is perfect! You literally pop it in your microwave for about 2 1/2 minutes and it comes out perfect. The mess is completely contained to the packaging that you just toss in the trash when your finished. There are four pieces to a package and four packages of bacon to a box. It's a little pricey for the actual amount of bacon you get but I personally feel like the convenience alone is worth it. Definitely recommend!! I received this product free from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest opinion.
Best Product ever
Skorr10 - 4 out of 5 stars review12/7/2023Love this product for convenience. We use this for BLT'S, and it works great! Just heat a little in the microwave and throw it on your sandwich. Tastes like regular bacon, minus the long cooking time and the bacon grease. Need fresh bacon bits for something? All you have to do is slice this up, and it's ready. It's definitely a great idea with great taste!
Quick & Easy
Lbenes18 - 4 out of 5 stars review12/9/2023Really liked this product. Only issue I had was I had to cook it a little longer than the directions to have the bacon be crispy which popped the bag so the microwave got a little dirty. But I but Paper towels under the bag the next time and it soaked up most of the mess.
Overall good solution
Brooke - 4 out of 5 stars review1/4/2024I received this from BzzAgent to sample & give a review on. It included a paper with cooking directions. I cooked 2 slices of bacon in the microwave per the directions and it was still raw, I then cooked it double the time and it was still raw. I took it out and fried it in a pan like any other bacon. It was delicious! It wasn't as salty as regular bacon. Which I loved because I'm on a low salt diet. I would recommend this to friends and family but not in the microwave, just fry like regular bacon. I would get this again!
Very tasty, no salty taste
PandaGurl69 - 3 out of 5 stars review12/13/2023I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. This is the easiest, most perfect bacon. It was quick, cooked exactly as directed at 2 minutes 30 seconds. Cleanup up consisted of just throwing the wrapper away. Flavor was great. The 4 slice packs are perfect for making a quick sandwich or toping for a dish or salad. Very convenient! Unfortunately, it is not ideal for breakfast when cooking for a whole family and the price is out of my budget for a regular shopping trip. I would purchase it in the future if it were on sale or if I had a special meal in mind
Very convenient but a little too expensive
Nykki G - 5 out of 5 stars review12/2/2023I received this as a sample from a site and I really did like the bacon I have eaten Hormel bacon before and I do love there products. This was the first I had heard of the microwave ones but it came out really great and crispy the first time I did it I did it wrong I took it out the bag but it still came out good but took longer to cook the second time I did it in the bag and it came out just right
Would buy
JazzyD - 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 review12/6/2023The 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 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/2/2023Black Label microwave-ready bacon offers convenience with quick preparation. Just thrown in the microwave for a few minutes and done. Benefits include time savings and easy cooking. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone including friends and family. I personally chopped the bacon and put it into a salad.
Good bacon
Quentin - 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 review12/6/2023BzzAgent 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 review12/18/2023This 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 review12/5/2023Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, One of my favorite things every. Hormel Black Label Bacon is so good, Takes seconds and your off eating your hot delicious bacon. It tastes amazing and they have done all the hard work for you! I can now have a BLT at a moments notice. I love Hormel Products, They are very high quality. So tasty and crispy!
Fast Crispy Bacon!
ford351 - 4 out of 5 stars review12/6/2023This bacon is super convenient to use. I love the individual 4-packs. The bacon was slightly undercooked when I followed the recommended time on the package, but an extra 30 seconds made it almost too crunchy. The flavor was still great, but watch the cook time closely.
Tastes great, but watch the cook time!
JS07 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/4/2023I received this product free to try from BzzAgent. I like Hormel products so I was excited to try but was concerned about the packet for heating. I can say I was pleasantly surprised! It’s so fast and easy. You take out a pack, pop it in the microwave for 2 min, and voila you have perfectly crisp bacon. Plus the clean up is super quick. All the grease stays in the pack, just toss it. It’s definitely helped me quickly make a BLT for lunch without creating a mess. I will definitely buy these in the future and think you should give them a try also.
Quick, easy, and crispy
Minimich29 - 5 out of 5 stars review12/7/2023I received this free item through Bzz Agent and this bacon was so good! The mess free packaging was great for easy clean and a quick breakfast. The bacon was excellent and crispy. My family absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend this product and we will be buying it again!
Bacon was crispy and delicious!
