The product was very easy to use! By the time the oven pre-heated I had all the bacon layed out on the grate and ready to go in. After baking for 25 minutes the bacon was crispy just like my kids like it. The only issue I had was when I went to take it out of the oven the tray the bacon lays in slipped and two rows of the bacon slid off the tray. I did not loose any the grates held it and I used a fork to slide it back on. I know now to take my time when getting it out of the oven. It seems to be a high quality product that I am sure to use often!
