Air fryers are great for cooking bacon, but a few things:
1) you’re going to make a mess
2) always set the air fryer to bake mode
3) carefully watched, baked bacon is perfect
Absolutely NO MESS with ours, especially compared to cooking it in the oven, in a frying pan, or in a toaster oven. No spatter all over the place and no smoke if you stay below 400 degrees F. The nonstick coating in the basket and grate made cleanup a breeze, too.
