Filed under “knocking it before I try it” … microwaveable wowbacon, really?

Are you lazy? I mean, lazier than lazy? Super defunct lazy? Because I know lazy, and you’ve gotta be Led Zepplin-level lazy to think that putting bacon in a microwave’s an acceptable way to cook that bacon.

If you are that lazy, you’re not alone. Your laziness has won the attention, and, the invention of WowBacon: some cheapo plastic stick-it-in-your-microwave excuse for a frying pan. It’s only $20 — that is, $27 with shipping and handling.

I see that microwaveable bacon in the grocery store, and I don’t like it. I see this microwave-your-bacon product, and I smell fish. Here’s what WowBacon says about WowBacon: “Its ability to let you easily and quickly make only as much freshly-broiled bacon as you want, on the spur of the moment and without the usual mess, is a convenience offered by none other.”

Did you notice the catch-word? Take a look again. It’s broiled. WTF. Yeah, I want my bacon broiled. Yeah right. Yeah, I want my bacon cooked in something resembling a water pitcher:

Yeah right.

You know the phrase “Don’t knock it ’til you try it”? Yeah, yeah, I’m knocking it. And I haven’t tried it. But know what? The ball is in BaconWow’s court. I took a look through their web site and found absolutely no proof, words, or anything else describing how WowBacon stands up to pan-fried bacon. Yeah, that’s fishy. Sure, WowBacon has bullet points describing how they compare to pre-cooked bacon … yes, they’re comparing themselves pre-cooked bacon. WowBacon is the Fail Bacon.
