It’s not that strange an idea. The waffles provide a place for the grease to drain. Keeping it pressed between the two plates keeps the bacon from wrinkling. 6 minutes cooking gives crispy bacon. 5-6 minutes leaves a little fat on the bacon. I try to turn it over halfway through, but it doesn’t seem to hurt it if I forget.
