Use a bacon cooker for the microwave and place a paper towel down on it to get the fat, place the bacon on top, add another paper towel over the bacon, and cook a minute for each slice of bacon. Comes out crisp and not fatty.
Lay the strips out on a microwave-safe shallow pan that will contain the grease during cooking. Cover with wax paper and place a clean, folded dishtowel on top to help keep the strips flat as they cook (less curling). Experiment with how long it will take for your particular microwave to do the job. After cooking, lay on folded paper towels to absorb excess grease just as you would if you had fried the bacon in a pan.
Three to four minutes, depending on the overall power of the microwave oven. Consult the manufacturers suggested cooking times on the bacon package.
yes, you can microwave bacon for 2-3 minutes.

Yes.
No you cannot microwave regular bacon, it will be raw... Yes you can. They even make special racks for bacon to be cooked in the microwave. Of course it has to be cooked until its done but the same is true when you cook it in a pan.
So long as the bacon is cooked all the way through, there should be no problems. Cooking stovetop allows you to better control and see what parts may need to be cooked a little longer, etc., but the microwave energy will kill anything that could be dangerous, for the most part.

I've found the best way to make bacon in the microwave is to cook it on high for about 2 minutes on a microwave-safe plate. Put a paper towel over it to eliminate the splattering of grease.
Pork is no different than any other meat. As long as you cook it properly after defrosting there is no problem.
You can cook it in the microwave too also on a griddle. If you plan to make a stew or soup boiling the bacon with the soup would add more flavor vs cooking before hand in a microwave.
rap it in a paper towel and put it in the microwave.
