🍳 Air Fryer Bacon (Even Faster!)
400°F (200°C) for 8-10 mins (no preheating, flip halfway).
Best for: Small batches, extra-crispy results.
🔥 Microwave Bacon (Laziest Method)
Place bacon between paper towels on a microwave-safe plate.
Cook on high for 1 min per slice (e.g., 4 slices = 4 mins).
Best for: 1-2 servings, super quick.
Pro Tips for the Best Bacon
Thickness matters: Adjust time for thick-cut (~3-5 mins extra).
No wire rack? Bake directly on foil—it’ll still be crispy!
Sweet & spicy twist: Brush with maple syrup or sprinkle brown sugar before baking.
Storage tip: Keep cooked bacon in the fridge for 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
Why This Beats Pan-Frying
No grease splatters on your stove or clothes.
Big batches at once (great for meal prep!).
Consistent results—no more guessing.
