Getting Started
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes before adding bacon. This ensures immediate crisping and even cooking.
- Arrange bacon in a single layer without overlapping. Cook in batches if necessary to achieve uniform crispness and proper fat rendering.
- For longer cooks or larger batches, empty rendered fat from the basket halfway through to prevent smoking and ensure bacon stays crisp, not greasy.
- Cook regular-cut bacon at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Thicker cuts may require 1-3 extra minutes for desired crispness.
