Center-Cut Bacon...fat grams?

[LaviathanX]

If I put paper towels underneath and on top of my center-cut bacon and microwave it until it's crisp, does it reduce the amount of fat in it? It soaks up a whole lot of grease, so I assume that it soaks up at least some of the fat. If so, how much fat does it soak up?

Also, try some Smucker's sugar-free strawberry preserves mixed in with your fat free cottage cheese. You'll thank me later!

Yeah im sure doing it that way absorbs the fat better.

but you know what I do?? I save the grease from the bacon, refrigerate and use for omlettes instead of butter.
