Does a microwave bacon cooker have to rotate?

[shaun-in-to]

I've been given one, but it's too long to rotate in my ancient, small microwave. Should I risk it, or look for a smaller one?

my 23yr old m-wv bacon cooker is too big to rotate, works like a charm~ Don't worry about it

I have used it, it does not rotate, and I love it, has never failed to work for me. Seriously I would use what you have and $ave your money

Shaun, here's one of several movie clips I posted before about microwaving

This one in particular deals with rotating food, stirring, etc. for even cooking which is a safety concern.

See Image link for my post that contains all of the movie clips.

with one built in these days." An excerpt from the link here.

We cooked bacon for years in our last microwave that didn't have a rotating

base. It worked just fine. I think they recommend 30 seconds on "high" for each strip for "medium" if I am rembering correctly, although I never understood why more bacon would take more time... it's so little and doesn't take up much density. (?)

I hate to use my micro because then it smells like bacon 4-EVER kiss-kiss.
