A great easy cleanup for this (I have a Cosori like this one) is I take the fryer insert out and put it over the square parchment insert for these fryers. Then you can just remove the parchment when it's cooled. Of course, the insert will still need to be cleaned but the large basket will be grease free :)

[@dededenver9560]

I love regular cut bacon cooked crispy. BTW, after oven roasting, microwaving, grilling, or pan frying, the latter is my preferred method for eating bacon. The down side is all the splatter on the stove. The more hot grease in the pan, the better. So I tried my air fryer and it was a very close second. Delicious! The up side is that there isn't grease splatter! Awesome!

[@jackmason2989]

It's been so long since I had a new fun toy. I don't enjoy cooking anymore. It's become a chore, not something "life-affirming." The nuke and I go way back, but it makes lousy fried chicken. LOL.

I buy that nuke-bacon, 30 seconds till ready, but it's a decadent experience, a pricey one, just too easy to prepare the entire package at once. What we won't do for a bacon fix.

When you fry bacon in a pan the oil comes out and is in the pan. Put the finished bacon on paper towels to get rid of any residual. I have wanted to try cooking bacon in our air fryer though. I keep my bacon oil in a tin that has a strainer. Put it in the fridge. You can use it for lots of stuff.

[@PWingert1966]

I have a toaster oven air fryer that has baskets and a grill plate accessory. Do I put the bacon in the basket or on the grill plate? Quick Tip: The appliance trips the breaker consistently when I plug it into wall plugs. Luckily, I have a plug on my stove that is rated for 20 Amps and uses the 30AMP stove line for power. So I love the air fryer over to on top of my stove whenever I use it so I can use that plug. I live in an apartment building built in the 1970s as a senior housing unit. the plugs are only rated for 15 amps (It's a safety measure since we have many seniors and people with mental health and addiction issues leading to an extremely high fire risk in the building. We have at least one minor fire in the building every month and had a major fire that destroyed two apartments in March of last year)

Thanks! *ONE Q: Could you do a video explaining how you keep your air fryer clean? I’ve been binging your vids and I’m always amazed how beautifully clean and like-new your basket is* 😊

[@semperfi5857]

It's really easy - just throw away the entire unit (please recycle) and use a new one.... Probably the best answer is to clean/wipe out immediately after each use, but who has time for that What works best for me is - if it's going to have fats/oils/cheese I'll pull the basket out completely and line the bottom with aluminum foil to catch most of the drippings - or just line the inside of the basket with Foil/Parchment paper. Bonus tip. Use heavy duty alum foil - the fan won't blow it around - you can fold small 'V's into the foil so air can still circulate underneath (like a folding fan) or if you're feeling lazy, just wrinkle up the foil in hand to make a bunch of ridges.

Howdy from Yuma, Arizona. The coffee is on and it is "Folgers Black Silk". Thick cut bacon is the only type we eat. I do enjoy the rind-on thick cut bacon but is difficult to find in a local grocery store here. This type of bacon reminds me of when my grandmother would make it in the cast iron skillet. She also made coffee but it was percolated and was strong. I enjoyed it very much but was to strong for the rest of my family.

My wife is exactly the same way as to the extra, extra, crispy, fatty bacon as her favorite way to eat it. That, and almost burn to a crisp. In fact, when we eat breakfast at our local hole in the wall, trucker's cafe, the staff there get a kick out of telling her what she wants even before she can open her mouth to order it. They repeat that exact quote and always laugh at her when they do it like that. She had gastric surgery years back, and somehow this texture of bacon just satisfies her completely. Me, I am like you and enjoy a softer texture, too. Thanks for posting. I was thinking you may have the time incorrect for the extra crispy bacon, but glad you adjusted it and explained before you ended your video.

I just cooked 3 rashers of dry cured unsmoked baon in my Ninja air fryer for the first time and it turned out great. I had to adjust the cooking time and temperature for my particular device, but it saves on electricity for heating up a grill, while for frying bacon in a pan on the stove, you do need a little oil or fat of some kind. The only problem with air fryers is that you have to keep cleaning them in hot, soapy water maybe three times a day if you use one a lot like I do.

I agree!

[@tbone9246]

I agree also. It has way more flavor not being over cooked IMO. Just like any other meat. Gotta use the thick cut also if you want it softer. I just cooked a pound that my son had bought. It was thin bacon and it came out too crispy for me. So I'm going to save that for him. Cooking my thick bacon now so I can cook it like I like it.

Wow, great. I have the same air fryer and it works great. But after a few times the air fryer gets really smoky. How do you clean all the bacon grease off of the element, top of the air fryer after you have cooked bacon?

[@astonmartin8706]

In the UK streaky bacon is sort of ok but we use the larger smoked/unsmoked back bacon - more meat but less fat

[@LordLarge9]

Bro extra extra crispy bacon is actually so gross. The perfect chewy crispy medium is easily the best.

Haha I won’t judge a persons bacon preferences! 🥓 Whatever makes you happy.

You said keep your wife happy and I immediately subscribed 🤣 you helped a clueless 24 yr old teenager! Thank u

[@markgilder9990]

That’s not proper bacon🇬🇧

[@frankward8336]

You're right mate. Why do yanks eat that greasy shite? And they don't even smoke it ! 😊😊😊

[@antionetweed4412]

Soft with a little crunch

[@JThom-yh3ef]

The way I do it, I have a vertical stand to attach the bacon strips so as its cooking in the air fryer, all that grease melts down so I don’t have to flip it.

Nice! was wondering about the "crowdedness" of the bacon slices.. Thanks buddy! Turned out great! ☺

Bacon on a camp fire = Sumer Camp!!!! Best memories ever.

[@cookingwithcoit]

Agreed!! 🙌🏻

[@tessfreeman1896]

I agree with your wife, crispy is best. This is the first time I'm trying bacon in the air fryer so thanks for your video tips. I am a bit concerned about the clean-up. I will pour out the grease and just wash in hot soapy water. We are campers and also LOVE the smell of bacon cooking on the fire and we always make it when we are camping. Thanks.

[@paulchinn5981]

Yup you are right sir. You can't beat the smell of bacon in the morning camping or hunting outside or in a cabin. All looks good good man. Enjoy. Now i want bacon...lol

[@crk1322]

Yes cooking bacon on an open fire on a crisp morning is the best!!! 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓

[@cyrilbrown5806]

You are so right. Both medium and crispy are great, thanks
