My mum microwaves bacon
and it's vile. Microwaves should only be used for defrosting things, I wouldn't cook anything in one.

Bacon should be FRIED, in olive oil in a heavy based frying pan and preferably on a gas hob. What's wrong with all you grilling weirdos?

Edit: and a George Formby is well easy to clean, it's non stick! Obviously using a scourer will scrape the Teflon off, which is what makes it harder to wash. I use a normal dishcloth and have never had any problems.
