An Overview of the Uses for Benzonatate. Benzonatate (TessalonÂ®) is a prescription cough medication. Unlike many other cough medications, benzonatate is not a cough syrup. Instead, it comes in liquid-filled gel capsules. There are several ways to treat a cough. If the cough is productive (it produces phlegm or mucus), it may be best to use an expectorant such as guaifenesin, which will help thin the mucus.
Cook the bacon. Place the bacon-draped bowl into the microwave. Cook the bacon on the highest setting for about 90 seconds per slice. If you're cooking a full pound of bacon, it may take up to 15 minutes. To avoid splattering the microwave with grease, you can lightly cover the bacon with a few paper towels.
1 Turn the oven on and set to 400 degrees. Do not wait for the oven to preheat. Go ahead and place the pan in the oven.  Cook the bacon for 12-17 minutes. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your bacon, and how long it takes for you oven to come to temperature. Start checking your bacon around 10 minutes to ensure your bacon doesnât burn. (Nothing worse than burnt bacon!)
