Nice job as always, and your experience mirrors my own. I think the pan bacon cooked faster because the entire surface of one side of the bacon is in direct contact with the hot pan.
Just bought this product and now I am going to take it back tomorrow after your review and thank you. The best way I have found to make perfect bacon is with the Nu-Wave Tabletop Convection Oven. You simply lay about 8 strips on the rack, then set on HI for 7 minutes, turn it over and cook another 8 minutes. Fast, easy and eacy cleanup
So if you read the instructions. quote "for crispy bacon set the rack upside down on the pan with the handles facing upward then place the raw bacon into the slots"
I did discover that if you take the bacon out 10 to 15 minutes and turn every piece over and continue to cook another 10 to 15 minutes it will come out fully cooked.
I fry in on the stove. My mother does it in the oven, but I think it tastes different. I agree with you about that product. I don't have the patience to wait 40 minutes for bacon. I can fry it faster than that apparatus by a mile and faster than in the oven as well. But to each his own.
I make my bacon on my ceramic griddle,then use the leftover grease for my pancakes or eggs depending on what we are having. I also save the excessive grease in a can in my refrigerator to use for fried egg.
Bed bath does only allow 20% per item unless you get the coupon that says on full order. Also have coupons for 10.00 off item over 30.00. They are now offering like a membership fee of 29.99 a year everything is 20% off for that year no coupon needed. I love that place. Can you tell lol
Thank you for reviewing this product. I'm glad I watched your vid before buying. It seems like it would be a waste of money! I was really turned off by the clean up process. Didn't clean very well. I'll stick to my fry pan! I've never tried the oven method, but will on my next bacon venture. Thank you Ladies!!
I just it my bacon on with this pan. I seen a comment on another video that you supposed to flip the rack over. But that only does 11 pieces. And the booklet days it does 12. But... I'll let you know how that turns out. I don't have high hopes for this any way. 😩
Oh my god! I thought a 🥓 🎂 would be yummy! In Portland, we have Voodoo donuts and the maple bacon is my favorite. By the way... I've had you on in the background for hours!
Exactly what i found! very disappointing! I tried it later with bacon wrapped scallops and the bacon never cooked in there! I had to take them out and put them on a cookie sheet! Ha! my favorite way to make bacon is still to just fry it in a pan and put it on a paper towel --perfect crispiness.
This is how I cook bacon. Two to three sheets of paper toweling on a plate and then cover the bacon slices with more paper toweling and cook in microwave for a few minutes depending on the amount of bacon. Works great and throw the paper toweling out and put plate in the dishwasher with the other dishes. Easy! I cook eggs quickly that way also by spraying a low mug with non stick and crack an egg for over medium or stir for hard egg and cook about 30 seconds. Slides right out and done for quick breakfast on the run. My mug is the size of muffin and you can see where I go with that. Mickey "D"s as I run. Like your work and I would never purchase one of those items as it is just a fad. My air fryer is great though and makes real great food.
I always cook bacon on a foiled sheet pan it's the best.Never tried it in my convection oven tho only because its not a self cleaning convection oven don't need that kind of mess the pan will come in handy for something i'm sure.
BTW I noticed the Gotham Bacon ban does have returns so I bought the regular one with the basket for my bake oven. I don't fry much at all and wanted an Air Fryer when I saw this. $19.99 and I love it. So much so I had bed bath and beyond send one to my sister for her bday. They send out for free btw. Anyhow my sister baked a chicken and posted it on FB, it was so pretty. I've made bacon, chicken wings, cauliflower tator tots and pizza rolls to name a few. I didn't want you to be turned off because of this bacon pan. Not many like it.
Wow I could fit many more pieces on the flat pan they can touch and if they touch the edge of the pans you can put some vertical and some horizontal because they are going to shrink not swell like baked goods
We must have different directions. I just reread the directions and no where does it say the handles should be facing upward. I have seen with other products that after the product has been on the market awhile they update the directions.
Well as I said before... I love my "Bacon WOW" .... Being a single guy it's fast and the bacon does come out just the way I like it in a single guy portion. I'm glad you guy's are back from Vegas.......That dude was lowering my interest. :)
thenightflier01 Sorry it didn't work for you either, but I'm glad it wasn't just something we did wrong. Hopefully you can return it! Thanks for letting us know and thanks for watching! Have a great day! ~ Cathy
I purchased the Bacon Bonanza. Pretty unhappy with this product. Bacon cooked at the top (I put the fat side up), not in the middle...brilliant idea, I turned all the bacon over to cook the lean side first...ended up cooking 45 minutes and still bacon was not cooked in the middle. Guess old fashion way is the best, at least for bacon.
if you fold the foil like an accordian in half inch folds the bacon will sit on top and the fat will drip off into the pan and make it crispy in the oven.
Great review, at the beginning of the vid I thought it would be a hit, but I guess I'll stick with the pan. I'm sure you two shared all that bacon you cooked 😉😁
Tks y'all for this vid, cause I'm a bacon-aholic. I wonder if the nr of strips makes the noticeable difference. Watched another reviewer's vid and she used Thick Sliced, but only cooked 3 strips in every other slot. Came out near perfect from how it looked in the vid. I kinda like the good ole well seasoned cast iron skillet. But that's just how I grew up, way before MWs. One last thing. It seemed like when I was USN, our Mess Management Specialists got bacon (with the occasional Awe, Spit) almost perfect. One of the cooks in our group said it Wasnt In Your Momma's Oven. I know it wasn't a toaster oven tho, so I dunno. His wife was a better cook than he was..lol She made killer ribs...the big one, not those itty bitty ones. Fall off the bone, good. Now I'm droolin all over the place!! Tks again. See y'all next time.
Waterburner Zero Six I saw that review too. I’m not sure if that was a fair review of the product. Most people are going to make more than 3 pieces of bacon. Thank you for watching, we appreciate it!
we have pork scratchings down the pub with a pint of beer or 2 ......they are lovely but deadly for your health lol love your vids your so funny )) kind regards from Birmingham England )
Hi! Baked bacon... I don't like bacon, but that's looked like an okay product until you used it. There's an AsSeenOnTV bacon apparatus (BaconWave) that's like minutes. I'm not into the microwave either. You didn't test fakin' acon or turkey bacon. If I make turkey bacon, I use the stove top directions (7-8 minutes) or dice it and cook it in an omelette on slow heat. This ain't gonna be a raincheck item. Lolz :)
Packages of pre-cooked bacon continues to be my preferred method - no muss, no fuss, and I can be eating bacon within seconds of opening the package. Nice review, ladies.
WTH? "You know how we like to make bacon?" Get your minds out of the gutter! I am so ashamed to call you two awesome right now. Ok, I'm over it. You're both still awesome.
I used to make my bacon in the microwave and till I learned how to make it in the oven. Now I will never cook my bacon any other way than any oven the way you do on the cookie sheet with foil.
oh i hear ya on that, thats why i would never put in a oven it would splatter and start a fire. they do have splatter screens for frying pans but if you were going to fry some up on a open fire who cares about the mess its going into the fire, and i only use a charcoal grill so no big mess to clean up there either.
ken strampe bacon in an oven on a cooling rack (not how they did it in the video) is easy and much more even than a pan. As far as splatter - you haven’t tried it so you don’t know that this is completely wrong.
Nice job as always, and your experience mirrors my own. I think the pan bacon cooked faster because the entire surface of one side of the bacon is in direct contact with the hot pan.

And Kathy sez "here is the rack" and leans into the camera! HA! Great job ladies 😁
LOL
I have this pan, i feel the same way, though if you flip the rack over and put the bacon in that way, it gets crispier
Hi Cathy & Rachel... I like to make mine in the oven on a foil lined sheet pan.
What are your natural hair colors, brown or black?
is it a copper cupon ughh, looks lot like brownie pan closer croves, maken bacon from abbey still my fave that i tryed
I make my bacon on my ceramic griddle,then use the leftover grease for my pancakes or eggs depending on what we are having. I also save the excessive grease in a can in my refrigerator to use for fried egg.

LOL no really?! 😂 I love it too! I have thought about the membership.

BJ Kean I'm glad we could help! Thanks for watching! ~ Cathy
Did y'all try the plastic boiled egg maker?
Good tutorial, thanks very much. Now, would you like to buy mine ?
LOL no I’m good, I have one. 😂
I saw your video for the bacon pan i agree with the both of you I appreciate your video I manly cook bacon in the microwave.
Kristen Chiaraluce Thank you!
Another video showed that you can turn the rack around so the air circulates better
I just it my bacon on with this pan. I seen a comment on another video that you supposed to flip the rack over. But that only does 11 pieces. And the booklet days it does 12. But... I'll let you know how that turns out. I don't have high hopes for this any way. 😩
Lacy is such a cutie! And I always cooked bacon in the oven too. The grid looks hard to clean. I'll stick with a foil covered pan,,
James Pavey she loves bacon!!
Who doesn't love bacon! :-)
Beautiful women. Love yall's accent. Thanks for the review. Love my bacon microwaved
try flipping the bacon, uncooked side up after 30 minutes
I purchased one of these and love it. My bacon comes out perfect.
Madarua1 I’m glad you like it. Did you do anything different? I would like to be able to use mine.
2¢ Chicks I just followed directions. 30 minutes at 400 degrees. I like my bacon crispy so that may be the difference.
Madarua1 Thanks!
Oh my god! I thought a 🥓 🎂 would be yummy! In Portland, we have Voodoo donuts and the maple bacon is my favorite. By the way... I've had you on in the background for hours!

Not getting heat down in it very well

Just tried my Bonanza and had the exact same results. FAIL i'm returning later today. Hope they take it back at BB@B
Hairmandan Sorry it didn't work for you either. They are pretty good about returns. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Sheet pan with foil! No spatter, easy cleanup.
ydmf2 Exactly!
Great Review....... I was thinking about getting one and now I know not to.... Thanks for taking the Hit for us....
Thanks! 🙂
Wow I could fit many more pieces on the flat pan they can touch and if they touch the edge of the pans you can put some vertical and some horizontal because they are going to shrink not swell like baked goods
We have the Presto microwave bacon maker. It works, but I prefer pan fried bacon
Try reading the it before reviewing a product. If you want crispy bacon, the handles should be facing UPWARD. Works great when used correctly.
We must have different directions. I just reread the directions and no where does it say the handles should be facing upward. I have seen with other products that after the product has been on the market awhile they update the directions.
Bacon!! I definitely don't like half and half bacon😂😃Yep, James had the same results. Definitely not as advertised. Thanks for the review😃
Well as I said before... I love my "Bacon WOW" .... Being a single guy it's fast and the bacon does come out just the way I like it in a single guy portion.
I'm glad you guy's are back from Vegas.......That dude was lowering my interest. :)
Bobby You Tube We might have to give the Bacon Wow a try if we can find one. 🥓🥓
I guess you had to be there.
I asked if I could join the Vegas party...but I got a big two thumbs down :(
Bobby You Tube Next time! 👍🏻👍🏻
Cast iron skillet or griddle works every time without fail.
I use Food Wishes-Chef John's recipe for baking bacon. Never fails.
oh, one additional comment, I tried placing the bacon in every other slot, this did not work either. :(
thenightflier01 Sorry it didn't work for you either, but I'm glad it wasn't just something we did wrong. Hopefully you can return it! Thanks for letting us know and thanks for watching! Have a great day! ~ Cathy
Hhm I thought it would work better with thick cut bacon
I purchased the Bacon Bonanza. Pretty unhappy with this product. Bacon cooked at the top (I put the fat side up), not in the middle...brilliant idea, I turned all the bacon over to cook the lean side first...ended up cooking 45 minutes and still bacon was not cooked in the middle.

barflybean Great idea! Thanks
Great review, at the beginning of the vid I thought it would be a hit, but I guess I'll stick with the pan. I'm sure you two shared all that bacon you cooked 😉😁
Rob C We will never tell! 😀🙊
35+ minutes to cook bacon? I'll stick with my 90 year old cast iron skillet, y'all. Nice review, ladies!
Tks y'all for this vid, cause I'm a bacon-aholic.
I wonder if the nr of strips makes the noticeable difference.
Watched another reviewer's vid and she used Thick Sliced, but only cooked 3 strips in every other slot.

D-cups on the madam on the right my best guess.
Benjamin Wilson LOL 🙊
D-Cups AND a sense of humor! Love ya.
Benjamin Wilson 😜
hahahahaahahahahaahah bloody hell ...... you've made pork scratchings !!!!!!!!
skorpio man LOL I had to google pork scratchings! 😂
we have pork scratchings down the pub with a pint of beer or 2 ......they are lovely but deadly for your health lol love your vids your so funny )) kind regards from Birmingham England )
Found trying bacon in a cast iron skillet is the best.
Great video!
Oh sorry one more note. You can return that BBB will take it back. Just give them ccard you paid with and they don't have time limit.
I didn’t know that! I thought it had to be within 30 days. Thanks!
Hhm that's actually how I like my bacon (to be a bit chewy) but ofcourse if this can't make it as advertised then it's not worth it
Hi! Baked bacon... I don't like bacon, but that's looked like an okay product until you used it. There's an AsSeenOnTV bacon apparatus (BaconWave) that's like minutes.

Too much trouble for me. 😂 I microwave mine between paper towels done in six minutes lol
the best way to cook bacon is to smack it in the microwave on high for about 3 mins ..;) trust me it'll be the best bacon youll have )
Packages of pre-cooked bacon continues to be my preferred method - no muss, no fuss, and I can be eating bacon within seconds of opening the package. Nice review, ladies.
jpwcpa That is definitely the easiest way! 😀
WTH? "You know how we like to make bacon?" Get your minds out of the gutter! I am so ashamed to call you two awesome right now. Ok, I'm over it. You're both still awesome.
PXT1958 LOL not going to lie, I had to check the urban dictionary. 😂
I couldn't help but notice that the word rack showed up a few times during the video. Urban Dictionary has an entry for that, as well.
See, it ain't just me.
I didn't need to check the urban dictionary for that! 😂
I used to make my bacon in the microwave and till I learned how to make it in the oven. Now I will never cook my bacon any other way than any oven the way you do on the cookie sheet with foil.
I cook bacon in the microwave. We love it crispy.
jkovachev56 Maybe if I liked crispy bacon I would feel different about microwaved bacon. It would be quicker! Thanks for watching! ~ Cathy
I like to cook bacon in Gotham steel 10.25 inch skillet 🍳
Turn the rack upside down and it cook crispier all over.
George Foreman ( like ) appliances are the Best Bacon cookers.
Ill stick to a frying pan
Glad I watched this before I bought it, waste of money!
B RADD thanks for watching! Glad we could save you some money.
Nice work girls, nice to see you act more loose on the videos...
I cook my bacon on an electric griddle ,that works best.
Try reading the instructions
Read the instructions........handles should face upward before putting bacon in.
mary HA I just looked at the instructions and the handles should be down. Maybe they changed the instructions.
2¢ Chicks
Perfect diplomacy!
whoa....30 minutes for bacon? Who has that kind of time?
Not me! 😀
Yeah, this pan sucks. I had to flip it to make it even. Then it was petrified.
Broiler pan
That’s pretty much what it is! Lol
My favorite way to have bacon is to leave it at the store :D I don't like bacon :D
Kaj Lindh What?! I thought my kids were the only ones who didn't like bacon. Lol
pan fried in a cast iron skillet or anything cast iron is the only way to cook bacon.
oh and grilled
ken strampe I would agree if it wasn't so messy. I hate messy! Lol ~ Cathy
oh i hear ya on that, thats why i would never put in a oven it would splatter and start a fire. they do have splatter screens for frying pans but if you were going to fry some up on a open fire who cares about the mess its going into the fire, and i only use a charcoal grill so no big mess to clean up there either.
ken strampe bacon in an oven on a cooling rack (not how they did it in the video) is easy and much more even than a pan. As far as splatter - you haven’t tried it so you don’t know that this is completely wrong.
This product just is not very good
looks like a POS, to me. Their is no easy clean up way to cook bacon.
