Notes
How long to cook bacon for in an air fryer
- Most recipes online recommend 400F/200C for 10 mins, what they failed to mention is that; not all air fryer are made and built the same. Depending on the wattage of your gadget, 400C/200F @ 10 mins may burn the bacon. If you would be cooking using this temperature, start checking from 5 minutes
- Cook @ 180C/360 F for 6 to 8 minutes
- 160C/320F for 8 to 12 minutes
- As usual for all of these cooking times, check halfway through as that would help you to determine how much longer you need to cook it for. Also, the thickness of the bacon would also be a determinant for how long to cook it for.
