Notes

  • If you are planning to cook multiple rounds of bacon, make sure to discard excess grease that will build up on the bottom of your air fryer pan. This is to prevent smoking.
  • Make sure to keep an eye on your bacon as it can burn easily. The 350ºF temperature should help prevent smoking, so don't cook your bacon any higher than that. Speaking from experience :D
