Q: Is this pork bacon? If so, why is it not specified anywhere on the packaging, including the ingredients?

submitted by Betty - 2 months ago
  • A: Good Morning Betty, this is pork bacon. It does not specify on the package because pork is the standard identity of bacon, so it is not required to be listed.

Be aware, this is NOT PRECOOKED. It is raw bacon. I thought it was the precooked bacon that you nuke just to warm it. Instead it comes raw in a plastic pouch. It does not cook evenly, so some areas are burnt while others are half raw. If I wanted raw bacon, I could have gotten a whole pound for less than this product. I requested a refund and do not recommend this product.

Pleasantly surprised by this microwave bacon. It’s delicious and it actually gets crispy if you put it in the microwave a little longer and the bacon doesn’t make a greasy mess like on the stove or in the oven perfect for an easy clean up

Bought by mistake thinking it was precooked-my mistake for not reading better. This is raw bacon packed in plastic bags that you microwave. So you get twice the plastic and half the bacon-that sucks, but I could have lived with it. BUT the bags fill with steam and open in the microwave! So my microwave is covered in steamy bacon grease! At the end of cooking time plastic bag was open and empty and the bacon was laying right on the microwave.

These used to work really well, but now the bags keep popping so the bacon isn't cooking correctly.

They have changed this bacon to being more lean. It will not get crispy in the microwave even if you add a minute or more.

I love the convenience of the Hormel Microwave Ready bacon. My kids can easily make it themselves. But one of two things needs to be changed: either the amount of bacon needs to be increased due to the price or the price needs to be decreased due to the amount of bacon in the package. I think I would purchase this product more often if one of these changes occurred.

Great value for quick crispy bacon! Love the convenience when I want to add bacon to a meal without the hassle of dealing with the tedious cooking process and messy splatter. (Photo is of 2 of the 4 bags this comes with).

Umm this bacon is so good! I thought it was the already cooked kind that you do for a few seconds in the microwave, but no! This is legit real uncooked bacon that comes in a super convenient bag that you just toss in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and boom! Delicious! I was very impressed! The bag even has a sheet inside that absorbs the grease. Nice

Everyone should test different times. Our sweet spot in our microwave is 3:40 sec in a thousand watt micro. Comes crisp not burnt 4 packs or 4 slices so 16 pieces total Really worth it to us because we only normally use 4 to 8 pieces per meal. So we save by not wasting. It is not messy. If you keep the paper towel side down while cooking it absorbs all the grease. I try to drain any extra grease off after cooking but there is none. It is so less messy than stove top or oven . The taste is perfect not Smokey just perfect in my opinion. High praises for this product

I will never cook messy, greasy bacon in a pan again after eating Hormel’s microwave bacon. I have tried other microwave bacon in the past, but this is the only one that tastes just like “normal” bacon.

Cook 4 min 30 sec for crisp bacon

4 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
EFamilyE - 7 years ago
As others stated, this bacon is hard to determine how long to cook it. We finally found that it’s best to cook it from frozen for 4 min 30 sec in the middle of microwave on a 1/2 sheet of paper towel. The quality, taste and convenience is awesome. I agree with a previous poster who said it’s too expensive at $8-9/box of 16 pcs of bacon. Due to my budget, I only buy 1 box a week, but if they’d lower the price to $6-7, I’d buy 2-3 boxes a week. Everyone in my family likes this bacon, even the picky eaters.
