Pork and apples are a common pairing. I microwave bacon on a
dedicated bacon-crisper tray that is slanted toward a collection
depression at the "bottom," so the grease runs down the grid and
collects there, just in case I want to cook with it. I love my bacon
tray. It makes the bacon nicely browned and crisp.
