Steps:
- Lay the bacon in a single layer in the base of an air fryer - be sure the layers aren't overlapping. The size of the air fryer basket will determine how many rashers you can cook at one time.
- Set the air fryer to 200C and cook streaky bacon rashers for 6-10 mins - just-cooked bacon will take 6 mins, but crispier bacon will take 9-10 mins. Cook back bacon rashers for 4-8 mins, depending on your preference. If you are cooking in batches, remember that the second batch will usually be quicker as the air fryer has heated up.
- Remove the bacon using tongs and put on kitchen paper to drain before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right bacon: Thick-cut bacon works best in the air fryer because it cooks evenly and doesn't shrink too much.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Leave some space between the bacon strips so that they can cook evenly.
- Set the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for cooking bacon in the air fryer is 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Adjust the cooking time: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it. Start with a cook time of 8-10 minutes and adjust as needed.
- Watch the bacon closely: Air fryers can cook food quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on the bacon to prevent it from overcooking.
