Bacon in the Air Fryer
A How to make bacon in the Air Fryer. Bacon is so good and can be cooked perfectly a few different ways. Before moving into our RV full time, I would cook our bacon in the oven and the bacon turned out absolutely perfect. I could easily cook a full pound in one batch. Now that I do not use my oven at all, I use our air fryer to cook our bacon and it always turns out perfect.

Notes
Air Fryers are all a little different and I recommend taking a peek at your bacon a couple minutes before they’re done just to make sure they are not burning. I like to use a low temperature so the bacon is all cooked without burning. The first time I tried cooking bacon in the air fryer I used 400° and the bacon came out with burned edges and large raw spots. Through trial and error, I finally concluded that for our taste, bacon that is just ever so lightly crisp and a little chewy, 320° for 12 minutes was just right.
