Set heat to low-medium.

Heat a small amount of neutral cooking oil.

Cook each side of the bacon for about 1 - 2 minutes. The bacon will burn easily if the heat is too high, so please use low-medium heat for this cooking method. Also, we find it best to use a bacon press (or any type of cast iron press) on top of the bacon to ensure even cooking.

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Once heated, cook the bacon strips for 3 - 4 minutes on a metal sheet tray.

When ready, the bacon should have visible bubbles on the surface, and the outer corners should be crispy to the touch. The outer edges should also be a bit darker/slightly more caramelized than the center of the strip.

Set the air fryer to 350F

Cook for 2 minutes

Remove bacon when bubbles start to form and the bacon is crispy around the edges.
