Air Fryer Bacon

Burnt my bacon. 390 for 8/7 is way too high too long!I adjusted the second batch to 370 5/6 and got perfect results.Used the same air fryer you have pictured. I didnt wanna experiment, so I found this recipe. Woulda been better if i just experimented in the first place.

Horribly overcooked. Could it be because I have a smaller air fryer and I cut them in half? I’d like to know what I did wrong cuz I did exactly the correct time, flipped and then checked at 6 min through the 7 min and saw how burnt it was and stopped it. Does the smaller ninja and cutting in half matter? Thank you. :/

I cut the bacon in half so it would be in a single layer. I adjusted the time to 8 minutes, at 375, turning half way. My air fryer has a metal rack that can be added, so I am actually cooking 2 levels. The top level was perfect ! I cooked the lower layer an additional 2 minutes. This was thick sliced bacon. (It needs to be drained on both sides on the paper towel) Clean up is easy, it was not near as messy/smelly, and great on these unbearably hot summer days when you want a BLT but not a hot kitchen!

Super easy and yummy! I used thick cut bacon and could fit 5-6 pieces in my Insignia 5Qt at a time. Best timing I found to be 7 and 6 minutes (flipping in between, as written). 8 and 7 was crispy and great for crumbling, but 7 and 6 was better for crisp BLTs where it needed to hold together a little bit. Thanks for this recipe!

OMG! I don't think I will make bacon any other way now! I have a 3.6qt air fryer. I cooked 1lb of bacon in 3 batches. I did overlap them a bit but it's great if you like cooked med well to well done, especially if you are using it for bacon bits. The other big PLUS is that my kitchen (which I usually close off from the rest of the house) doesn't hardly smell like bacon and there was hardly any grease on the bacon!!! Of course the clean up was great too! I used a baster to get the grease out of the fryer and the rest was easy!

I would cut down the cooking time on this. I did mine for 8 minutes at 390 degrees and they were almost burnt to a crisp

I cooked it for 6 minutes each side

this recipe makes Almost Burnt Bacon. some people like that. I don't at all. I want melt in my mouth Bacon. 350 cook 6 flip then 4 more I feel is perfect. not gummy at all crispy without the meat overcooking and becoming tough. add water to the bottom to prevent the smoke detector from telling your neighbors it's bacon time.

This has potential but as written you will end up with very burnt bacon. I went ahead and experimented with the entire pound package. The basket only holds a few pieces at a time so this was quite a lengthy test. On the very last batch I got it right. I ended up reducing the temp to 350, cooking it for 5 minutes, flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Another helpful hint is to cut your bacon pieces in half prior to putting them in the basket. If you do not, the pieces that overlap never get as done as crisp as the parts that are not overlapping.
