GrillPro 41550 Bacon Cooker Grill Rack

After trying many different solutions to get my bacon just right, I came upon the GrillPro bacon cooker and without a doubt, this is the best and fastest way to make bacon that I have found.To recap, all you have to do is drape the bacon over the triangle rack and the bacon will cook evenly on both sides since the rack is pretty much a tunnel and the air can flow freely through it. The grease will simply drip down into the pan resulting in bacon that isn't soaked in grease. As another reviewer suggested, using the convection setting on the oven (if you have one) is the fastest (10 minutes @ 350 degrees) and will result in crispy bacon while the setting the oven to bake (375 degrees) still takes only 15 minutes.** IMPORTANT ** - spray the top of the rack with cooking oil to keep the bacon from stickingThe down side of this cooker is that it isn't big enough to hold a whole (12 oz) package of bacon but there is a simple solution. Buy two.The cleanup is super simple as well. Just pour the grease from the pan into a jar or some other place that you recycle oils, put the pan and rack into the dishwasher or wash by hand with a good degreaser. Done!This is a simple and very effective design and I highly recommend it.

This product works well and is easy enough to clean. If you want to cook even a 8 ounce pack of bacon, you’ll need 2 of them. Need to experiment with temperature and cooking time, but something around 400 for about 18-20 minutes seems right. I got the basics from reading other reviews. Recommend.

I love bacon. I was looking for a solution to eat more with less cleanup. I have only used this in my convection oven.Cleanup:This thing is fairly easy to clean up, especially the pan, but don't underestimate the wire mesh the bacon rests on. The wires are not as easy or as convenient to clean as just wiping the pan off. This is important because your bacon will get stuck to the wires unless they're clean. ALSO: if you use this inside your oven, beware of bacon grease potentially splattering onto your oven's walls. I haven't experienced a large quantity of oven splatters, but it's certainly capable of producing splatters. Perhaps reducing the oven temperature may remedy this but I need more time to prove this theory...Taste:Amazing bacon. Every time. Even when it gets stuck to the wires because I didn't clean it good enough, or a little burnt because I forgot to take it out of my oven in time, the bacon always tastes amazing.Bent Bacon:It's important to mention the bacon will always come out folded in half. However, you can generally bend the bacon back to straightness without breaking itDry Bacon:Also worth noting, the bacon may appear burnt near the fold, but it's really just dried up. Gravity does an excellent job of draining the bacon greases off. Typically when I transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel, there are very little greases remaining on the bacon. Perfection!!!

Okay being the person that cooks in our house I find one glaring design flaw with the Bacon Cooker. It doesn't cook entire 1lb package of bacon at once if used like it is shown on the package. This is annoying because I have three kids and don't have time to waste in the kitchen cooking a single package of bacon in two courses. This could be easily solved if the center of the two racks were spaced a little wider to slide bacon on the front and back of the rack or by making the rack longer. Not sure who designed this but I imaging they are single and not cooking for a household. I am pretty handy and might mod. the rack myself. Also on the positive note it does cook the bacon perfectly and doesn't leave the bacon greasy.

My fiancé and I have been trying to find a bacon rack for a while and came across this little thing. I’ve used it almost everyday since we bought it over 3 weeks ago and it has worked wonderfully. It cooks the bacon and drains some of that extra grease so you don’t have to. The bacon does crisp a little more at the top, but that’s fine with us bc we like a little bit of crispy bacon. We use thick cut bacon and it works great as well. Not to mention the clean up is super easy, and the pieces hold up well in the dish washer. I would recommend for sure.

I wanted to love this, and planned on ordering a second one (to cook a whole package of bacon at one time). As you can see in the picture, it was shipped with a crack in the corner of the pan. I had no clue until my oven was covered in bacon grease & my smoke alarms were going off! Good thing I didn't use it on the grill, there would have been a huge grease fire!

Great for cooking bacon in the oven. I don't plan to use it on the grill. Bought one and liked it so much I got a second. Now I can cook a whole pound of thick cut bacon at one time, and save the bacon grease for cooking. About 20 minutes in a 350ºF convection oven, started cold, works great. Clean-up of the pans and the non-stick racks is fairly easy. Let them soak in hot soapy water for a few minutes; a dish brush works well to get the wire intersections clean. The racks when folded don't quite fit into the pans, but two pans will nest very well. Makes for a fairly compact bundle in the cupboard.

Please be careful !!Using this product reminded me of a song from my youth. It goes something like.... "Watch Out, You might get what your after....yada yada .... Three Hunderd Sixty Five De-Grees... Burning Down the House" - Talking Heads. I am laughing now but it was not at all funny when I was looking at the fireball in my grill. I ignored the instructions and placed this bacon cooker over open flame in an effort to accerate the estimated cooking time listed on the package.Back to the music references...This product was a 'one hit' wonder for me. After one use I decided the damage caused by the grease fire made this product worthy of the trash. I can not fault GrillPro for my lack of judgement.If used properly this product may actually work. I am going with 2 stars as the product can be dangerous.

Love it, ordered a second one. Can't go wrong. No pics as I ate the bacon.

Cooks bacon perfectly, let's the fat drip off and seems to cook quicker than sitting in a dish. The base can be used in dishwasher, the grill does not get clean as well so needs a scrub.

Makes clean up so much easier

works great

its the best way to cook bacon, works great
