Method
- Wash and shred the iceberg lettuce with a knife

- Put the contraption in the microwave and cook for 5 minutes using maximum power
- Remove the contraption from microwave
- Carefully remove the upper bowl to reveal the cooked bacon
- Leave for 2 minutes to cool down and allow the bacon to relax
- While the bacon is cooling butter the two slices of bread
- Place some of the iceberg lettuce on the first slice of bread with a couple of tomatoes
- Add the bacon to the sandwich
- Add the rest of the lettuce and tomatoes to the sandwich and place the second slice of bread on top
- Leave for around 1 minute to allow the butter on the bread to melt to coat the lettuce and tomatoes
- Cut the sandwich into 2 (diagonally if you like the bread in two triangles), add salt and pepper to taste if required

Notes
- Take care when removing the bacon from the cooking contraption as it will be very hot
- Tip away all excess fat from the bacon that is stored on the large plate once cooled to avoid burning yourself
