Open it up, arrange the bacon, close it, and set the doneness. No bacon fat everywhere, strips stayed flat, didn't curl up.

Native to Central America it was first detected in Texas in 1911, was first described scientifically in 1940, and first reached Florida in 1949.

This species is not harmful to the environment, crops, animals/pets or people...but thay can be a nuisance and potentially dangerous to drivers when they swarm in their legendary numbers.

They only live in their adult form for just 3 or 4 days. The majority of that time they are mating, flying ass-end to ass-end... They lay as many as 350 eggs in grassy places. The larva eat dead plant material and are important in producing humus to in Florida's sandy soil.

I think it's a good thing, I just didn't like the hype.
