Bacon Bacoff

Cooked up some bacon this morning for the first time in 9 months - wife was off bacon during her pregnancy and I didn't want to gloat.

The experiment was simple - frying pan vs. microwave. I thought it would be pan all the way, but the nuked strips were indistinguishable from the fried ones. Am I crazy or is there really no difference between the pan and the microwave?
