Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 rashers streaky bacon, or 3 rashers back bacon
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon: Lay the bacon rashers in a single layer in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Make sure the pieces are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
- Set Temperature and Time: Set your air fryer to 200°C (392°F). For streaky bacon, cook between 6 to 10 minutes depending on how crispy you prefer it; 6 minutes for just-cooked bacon and up to 10 minutes for crispier texture. For back bacon, cook for 4 to 8 minutes based on your taste.
- Cook in Batches if Needed: If your basket cannot fit all the rashers at once, cook them in batches. Note that subsequent batches may cook faster as the air fryer remains hot.
- Drain Excess Fat: Once cooked, use tongs to transfer the bacon onto kitchen paper to drain excess fat before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overlapping bacon rashers to ensure even crisping.
- Cooking times may vary slightly based on the model of air fryer and thickness of bacon.
- Use tongs to handle hot bacon safely when removing from air fryer.
- Save the bacon fat for cooking other dishes if desired.
- Keep an eye on bacon towards the end of cooking to prevent overcooking.
