Bacon has become everyone's favorite breakfast meat in the last five years and for good reason. It's absolutely delicious. However, it has been some time since breakfast underwent a revolution until the folks over at Nostalgia Electrics came along and changed the game with their bacon toaster.

Nostalgia Electrics has blessed breakfast with the Bacon Express Crispy Bacon Grill and it's the best thing since sliced bread. No longer will your bacon get oddly soggy in the pan and instead will crisp up to the perfect preferred temperature. Cooking breakfast, specifically cooking bacon, has never been easier! Banish the frying pan and griddle, this kitchen gadget cooks bacon in a healthier way in only a matter of a couple of minutes.
It's pretty simple to use. Hang up to six slices of bacon over the middle section of the unit and let it cook.
It folds up when it's not in use and is about the width of a cookbook. Perfect for storing on the countertop.
A dial on the side lets you control the heat for thicker or crispier bacon. Thick cut bacon can now be crispy!
This is probably the best feature of the toaster - no one likes thick bacon if they're a die-hard crispy bacon fan. Whatever the size of the bacon strips, crispiness is not an issue.
The vertical layout drains the bacon of excess grease, making it a healthier alternative to pan-fried bacon.
The grease drip tray is removable and makes for easy cleanup. The cool touch handles work exceptionally well and the machine can be handled during the cooking process, as well as after.
Don't forget to store that bacon grease in a mason jar for later use! Just because this Bacon Toaster is vertical doesn't mean you still can't candy bacon.
In fact, each side will benefit from the multi-surface cooking technique and you'll end up with beautifully caramelized bacon.
What are you waiting for? Find yours here and get to cookin'.
