Does the Bacon Boss Really Work?

Rate this post

The hassle of cooking bacon is really worth it because most of us love this food. There may be an easier way to get it cooked just the way you like it but without all the trouble that goes with it.

Overview
Bacon Boss is a unit that allows you to cook your bacon either in your oven or the microwave without all the mess and hassle that comes with bacon cooking.

The Claim
The Company claims that The Bacon Boss seals in the flavor of the bacon during cooking because of the screw down lid that comes with the Bacon Boss. They say that it helps to reduce all the fat splatter that comes with cooking the bacon.They also say that cleaning the Bacon Boss is easy and it is microwave safe.

The Hype
Probably the hype that is most acceptable about using the Bacon Boss is that it really helps to keep the splattering of the fat down. Everyone knows that when cooking bacon in the conventional manner it can be really messy. Not to mention the small burns that can occur from the bacon spitting off the fat.

The Cost
You can expect to pay $19.95 for the Bacon Boss then you have to add on $8.95 for shipping and handling. If you add an extra $5.95 for shipping you will get the bacon cutter free. So in total your order is going to cost you $34.85.

The Commitment
It is going to take less commitment to use the Bacon Boss than it is to cook your bacon the standard way. You can just pop it into the oven or microwave. You don’t have to stand at the stove tending to the bacon by turning it over every few minutes.

Evaluation
Usually when someone is cooking bacon they are cooking other breakfast items at the same time. A good hungry man’s breakfast perhaps. This means aside from the bacon there are eggs and home fries that need to be cooked. Not having to worry about the bacon because it is cooking in the oven or microwave might be a real bonus. There is also the added feature of the bacon not sitting in its own fat which may cut down on the amount of fat that you are going to consume. There are several different types of units that let you cook bacon in the microwave, but what makes the Bacon Boss different is that you have the option of using the oven or the microwave.

Final Bacon Boss Review

We’re going to give the Bacon Boss a Try/Buy. There is not enough user feed back as yet to support its credibility. Anything can look good in pictures. So although the bacon looks like it is cooked to perfection in the promo images, this doesn’t mean it is going to turn out the same for you. It is true though, that this type of unit really could cut down on the hassles of cooking bacon.

Our Recommendation
If you cook bacon a lot or are into cooking big breakfasts then you may want to consider the Bacon Boss. While the unit itself is reasonably priced, by the time you add in the shipping

costs its not cheap. There are bigger and more well known units for cooking bacon as well as the other breakfast foods, but they do come with a more hefty price tag like the Cuisinart Griddler. Also the big push lately has been for people to cut down on their fat consumption. Maybe having a way to reduce the fat from your bacon is a good thing. One thing you don’t want to do is compromise the taste of the bacon because of the fat reduction. Many people complain that cooking bacon in the microwave often means it comes out rubbery and doesn’t crisp up. This is something that the Bacon Boss will have to avoid if it wants to be a success.

Not worth the money. The product does not work and breaks or melts after the 3-4 use.

I own and operate Barb’s Chocolate Covered Bacon and let me tell you after using the bacon boss I can and won’t go back to oven or pan frying bacon , I have 4 of them and use them daily by making 80- 100 lbs a week of bacon, it’s easy to clean no splatter and crips the bacon perfectly . Whoever came up with this idea is an absolute genius and I would like to thank you very much
From Barb the Bacon lady 😊

I just purchased the Bacon Boss and it worked great for me. I cooked an entire pound of bacon in 9 minutes. There was no mess. What I did notice was steam and condensation build up on my microwave door. I just wiped it off with a paper towel and it was gone. It wasn't a greasy residue, it was just steam from the bacon. The bacon came out crispy and did not stick to the lid or pan. I'm actually thinking of buying another one for my vacation house. I think maybe the company must of read the comments from 2016 and possibly updated their product to work better. No plastic taste, no mess and no sticking.

This is the worse product I've used for cooking bacon. First and foremost the lid does not completely cover the tray the bacon cooks on. I put my standard five strips of bacon on it. The grease came out around the glass lid.
The product is also a PIA to clean. The rubber gasket does not like to go back on the glass. The hole the lid screws onto fills with grease and is also a PIA to clean.
I returned it back the same day I bought it. Do yourself s favor and stay away from this product!

Sure glad I read all these reviews!!! I'm certainly NOT going to waste my time and money on a Bacon Boss. I will say that I really enjoyed reading all these reviews. Some are really a hoot and brightened my day.

Purchased at Target and the knob melted off during first use. Read the reviews, should this product even remain on the market? A retailer with any ethics would not offer an item like this.

I have got my second BB I used the first one for about three months put it in the micro and all of a sudden my lid busted. My turn table was off and not turning so I thought that this was the reason it busted. Got a new one to day cause It really does make great bacon. If I have a problem with this one I will get all my money back Why cant they make something that does not come from China and does not break easy. Try making something in the good old USA it will not break then.

I just bought the bacon boss on a whim while I was at bed bath and beyond. And I used the 20% off coupon that they are constantly sending so it was really only $16. I asked the lady if they get a lot of returns on this and she said she's probably received about 2 returns out of 75 sales. And she's in charge of all the returns. So I got it knowing I could return it and I've got to say... I used it today and I absolutely love it. There was no splattering. It was able to cook it to a nice crisp but you can regulate it by the amount of time that you cook it. 5 - 5 1/2 mins. And they come out beautifully flat. The "only" downside is that I could only cook 5 bacon strips at a time so I had to do three rounds to cook a full package of bacon. So I'm keeping it as I think it's great. At the end of each round I emptied the grease into a glass jar and put the next batch on. Easy Peasy! The only downside is that I could only cook 5 bacon strips at a time so I had to do 3 rounds to cook a full package of bacon. But I'm keeping it! I think it's great. Starting a KetoDiet so I'll be cooking some bacon which I rarely did in the past. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on this product. ?
