Broadcasting via videolink from Alison’s Birmingham home, the presenter demonstrated how you can cook a variety of dishes using a microwave.
As well as bacon, Alison showed viewers how to microwave dishes including pasta and a cake in a mug.
What did viewers think?
Viewers took to Twitter to discuss the strange cooking segment, with many finding the idea of cooking pasta in a microwave nauseating.
“@EamonnHolmes face at the thought of making microwave pasta! Props to @AlisonHammond for making the microwave segment entertaining,” one wrote.
Another added: “I think @EamonnHolmes face says it all! If you can be bothered to cut up all those ingredients then you can boil pasta for 10 minutes rather than use the microwave.”

Microwave debate
The microwave debate started yesterday when Ruth berated her husband for how he cooks bacon.
A visibly disgusted Ruth explained: “I came downstairs and thought ‘What is this horrible smell?’.
“And did you see the fat splattering inside?”
But her husband reassured her that he had now perfected microwaving bacon.

He explained: “Ah! But I’ve worked out how to do that now. You put a tissue over the top of it.”
He added: “And it keeps it all down.”
Addressing the cameras, Ruth asked: “Do you microwave bacon? I’ve never done that before.”
Before moving onto another subject Eamonn defiantly said: “Well I have! And it tasted fine.”
