Brown Sugar Bacon

So, this time, I layered the bacon strips between several layers of paper towels and microwaved it for about 10 minutes (for 1 lb of bacon) until it was almost completely done. Then I sprinkled it with brown sugar and smoothed it over with my hands. I then removed the strips from the paper towels and turned them brown-sugar-side-down onto a wire cooling rack fitted over a baking sheet. Lastly, I sprinkled the other side with brown sugar and smoothed it over. I finished it off in a 425 degree oven for about 8 minutes.
