Warming Bacon for butties
Discussion
Maybe once a month, thought it'd be nice to greet the workers with a bacon butty. This would be at about 7am and in an industrial unit with just a microwave.
I can either get a George Foreman machine and cook some on the day (while also trying to get their work organised), could cook it the night before and warm it in the microwave (with a house smelling like bacon), or could just microwave it from scratch (apparently).
Feeding maybe 10 blokes with healthy appetites as quickly and drama free as poss.
Any suggestions for a suitable method?

Not sure I'd want a bacon butty where the bacon had actually been cooked in the microwave. I have heard it can be done but surely it wouldn't be very good.
A George Forman type grill would work much better or the suggestion of ordering in from a local cafe. People might then want to order all sorts of extras adding to the cost and making it more hassle.

Greggs butties are weird, they just taste different, not sure if it's the bread or the bacon. Still partake though -)
Yesterday myself and daughter were on an early morning jaunt to visit a university, on the M something or other, I spotted we were close to a services; I needed a coffee and said services had a Greggs.Now Greggs coffee is ok and a damn site cheaper than Costa, this Greggs did a breakfast deal of a hot drink and a variation of egg, bacon or sausage bap, mixed up.
For £2.95 I had a coffee and a bacon and sausage bap, what I was amazed with was the bacon and sausage were actually proper bacon and sausage, not some reconstituted rubbish that "looks like" bacon or sausage (Subway breakfast), it was actually 2 slices of bacon and 2 sausages (ok not the best quality) and Heinz ketchup (I watched the girl make the bap up).
Go Greggs, it's cheap and pretty decent.

You can cook bacon perfectly well from scratch in the microwave. Try it, I've been doing it for years, as long as you don't overcook it, which it will quickly if you don't keep an eye on it. 5/6 rashers for 4/5 mins then check and adjust accordingly.
+1 microwave bacon is great. So is microwave cheese on toast. toast, cheese and 30 secs. Job's a goodun.Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
