Could I fill the cooked bacon bowl with queso or would it ooze out between the bacon?

The way it cooks together there ARE about 4 or so small gaps between the bacon strips of the bowl. They arent huge but any liquid sauce is probably going to spill out the bottom. I have not tried cooking with more then the recommended 2.5-3 strips HOWEVER, I imagine you could keep it in, if you filled the bottom with something else like a bit of crisp lettuce, or a thin strip of meat (in the way of luncheon or something similar). I know amazon doesnt like links but I'm gonna try to share these images on imgur (dot) com. They are at "imgur (dot) com / j5D1mcK" which shows my first two bowls in comparison to a ritz cracker. One of them cooked a bit too much on the bottom compared to the one on the top. The second image is at "imgur (dot) com / moeOyQV" which shows my filled bowls. They look fairly good, and tasted good too, as I said in my review filled with chicken alfredo, crushed red pepper, parsley.

You would have to make sure there are no openings once the bacon is cooked.

Use the trial and error method; one of the bowls I made probably could of held some cheese sauce, not sure for how long though, but can imagine eating the evidence of the unsuccessful attempts. (better luck if I make the bowls ahead of time and let them cool some what. also noticed the shrinkage of the bacon varied so some bacon bowls were more complete while others had more gaps.)

It may ooze out a little as there are a few openings....however I put mine in a cupcake paper and it worked fine.

I've never used it for bacon, but I don't see why not. You'd have flat fast cooking crispy bacon.

Interior depth is about 1/4" with a continuous rim, no openings on the sides. I would fry bacon in it, but keep the temp down to control splatters!

Sorry, never cooked bacon in it. Actually, I sent this back to Amazon because the top and bottom plates kept falling out.

It is not very deep (quarter inch maybe) so if you fry bacon on it use a splatter guard on top and if you are making a lot of bacon do it in batches while draining the fat from the pan in between batches.

Not well. You can fry bacon on it, but if there is any wind larger pieces of meat will not cook. This is better for pancakes and eggs in the morning.

the lip is very small... cooking bacon is a big problem. pancakes would be ok or grill cheese, but nothing that has a lot of greasecooking out of it.

The bacon I received is in slab form, the slab being about 1/2 as thick as conventional bacon. And as a reminder, it is very salty if used as is.

It is great for a lot of bacon. The square shape makes the slices easy to fit. The whole pan heats pretty evenly, but I still move the outside ones to the middle when I cook a bunch. If the bacon is very fatty, I have poured some of the grease off while still cooking--the corners make it easy to pour safely. Then I carefully wipe any grease on the outside and put it back on the fire.

I spray the tray with a high temperature oil (Canola) before cooking the bacon. The tray is very easy to clean using this prep.

You should have no problem because of the feet in the bottom of the pan. The rack may just sit a little high in the pan. I love my racks the only thing is if you are cooking bacon use a toothbrush to clean the little cracks.

I only eat turkey bacon which works great in the pan but I do think the pan is deep enough for regular bacon.

The parts that you stand up to cook the bacon on, come apart. I put all 4 pieces inside the black bottom, and then keep mine in a gallon zip lock bag. It works well for me because all the pieces are together. I love this product so much, that I have 2 of them. That way when a batch of bacon comes out of the microwave, I put the next batch in without having to waste time between cooking. I hope this helps.

Sure. I assume you wouldn't fill up the bowl to the top, but if you did you'd most likely just get a small impression of the lid on whatever your cooking.

Yes it can... but you must carefully watch the cooking time and check the bacon a few times while cooking. It doesnt take long for crispy bacon to burn even in your microwave if you leave it unattended. The bacon cooker allows you to take off bacon for those who prefer it less than crispy and allows you to continue to cook the bacon until it reaches the crispiness you desire. Just carefully check it a few times.

No, we used it a few times for frying bacon, but it's not as deep as I wanted. If you cook a lot of bcon at one time, you may have to remove some of the grease or it will run over!

Sure. The microwave can produce "undercooked" to "burnt to a crisp" bacon. It all depends on the cooking time.
