- 4 out of 5 stars review12/1/2023This bacon is pretty good for a quick, small portion of bacon. Need a few pieces for your breakfast biscuit? Slap it in the micro and in a couple of minutes you are good to go. I will say that one of the packages kind of exploded and I ended up with a bacon ball instead of 4 tidy strips but hey, bacon is bacon.
A quick way to get a portion of bacon
trilesta - 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 review12/6/2023The 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 review12/2/2023I sampled this product. It was very easy to cook. There are four slices in each microwavable package inside the box. It said to cook for 2 1/2 minutes but it needed an extra 30 seconds to get it crisp. My only suggestion is that I would prefer Hormel uncured Natural Bacon come in the great convenient packaging.
Beautiful Product
Marge in charge - 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 - 4 out of 5 stars review12/9/2023The packaging was easy to use; just take it out and microwave for 2-3 minutes. There was no clean-up since the packaging absorbed the grease, and it cut my cooking time. The taste is what I expected. It was nothing spectacular, just regular bacon. My family enjoyed it as they always do whenever they have bacon. I will purchase again, especially for vacation, so that I can focus on family time and not cooking
No mess, no fuss
Happy - 4 out of 5 stars review12/26/2023I got to sample this for free in exchange for leaving a review and I'm so glad I got to give this a try. My daughter loves bacon so she was more than happy to give it a taste test. I cooked the bacon exactly per the instructions and it came out perfect. I expected there to be a lot of grease and the bacon to be soggy since it was in a sealed bag but it was perfect. Perfect amount of crisp for me and the kid loved it. I tried cooking it less time to see if it was a little less crispy but that didn't work out great, wasn't cooked enough for me and trying to put it back in for more time didn't work great. I really didn't have a reason for trying to cook it less as it came out perfect the fist time. Not too crunchy and no burnt taste at a...
Doesn't get any more convenient than this!!
Finis - 5 out of 5 stars review12/1/2023If you want a convenient, tasty and mess free bacon, you need to buy this. It only takes two minutes to make hot, crispy bacon in the microwave. Better yet, no grease splatter or dishes to wash. You just throw out the bag after cooking. Incredible convenience. This is perfect for that quick, easy addition to your meal. It's so easy, the kids can make it too. If you want something to make your meal preparation way easier, buy this bacon. You won't be disappointed .
Perfect Bacon
Baconator - 4 out of 5 stars review12/4/2023I received this bacon in exchange for an honest review. The bacon is good. It is really convenient. I put it in the microwave in the plastic individual package and heated for 2 minutes. It does shrink up a bit. It is not really flavorful, but not bad either. It does not cook evenly. The ends were crispy and the middle was chewy. I added it to the pan when I was making eggs to finish cooking it more. I would definitely recommend if you want to add it to a salad or dip. I only gave 4 stars because how it cooks, but for convenience I would give it 5 stars.
Convenient easy bacon
lala22 - 3 out of 5 stars review12/11/2023I received this product as a BzzAgent to review. My husband and I do not eat bacon super often, maybe once or twice a month when we want a BLT or a full breakfast spread. I do often buy Hormel black label, but this was my first time with microwave bacon. When opening the box I noticed that there was some variation in size - two packs had very thick slides and two had very thin slices. The first batch I made was one of the thinner packs, which turned out just OK. A bit less crispy/firm than I prefer, but it made an OK BLT. Of note, the bag popped open while making. The second time, I made two pouches, both the thicker/fattier ones. The bags didn't pop and the pieces were crumpled up and squishy. I tried putting them back in, each for about...
Inconsistencies in results
GSNewberry - 5 out of 5 stars review12/1/2023This bacon is a great substitute for on the go it cuts cook time significantly. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. The taste is wonderful and it's perfectly cooked Everytime once I learned the proper cook time. Only down fall is I wish there was more in the pack for the price otherwise it's perfect!!!
Tasty
Bacon lover - 5 out of 5 stars review12/4/2023I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I was thinking this would be the same as all the other bacons that I have tried. You stick it on a plate with a paper towel and nuke it. Well, I was surprised because it came with 4 packages of 4 slices of bacon each. The slices were a nice size and looked pretty good. Reading the easy instructions, I grabbed one of the packs and tossed it in the microwave for 2 minutes. You don't have to poke a hole or anything. Great! I took it out and made a BLT with the first package. The 4 slices did get smaller, but they were a perfect size for the sandwich. I was really happy with the packaging because there is an opening at the end of the package that acts like a vent for when you ...
