Can I cook bacon in the airfryer?

I do all the time but the type of bacon that is most common in my country is shoulder or middle bacon which is nowhere near as fatty as the streaky bacon that is the most common in the US. I actually can roast an egg in its shell, cook a piece of bacon and toast a slice of bread all at the same time (an idea I got from the Airfryer Facebook fan page).

I'm not sure.Never tried it. Better contact the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes, you can. But remenber that most of it is pure fat which the Airfryer will eliminate.

Probably, but I would not recommend it. Bacon spatters grease which would hit the heating element and could start a fire

Sure. The microwave can produce "undercooked" to "burnt to a crisp" bacon. It all depends on the cooking time.

I'm sure it would cook bacon although I have not used it to cook bacon myself because I always cook a pound at a time. But, the way it cooks and browns fish and beef, I'm sure it would work for bacon as well. I have a this one and the new one that is round and larger. It cooks fish and vegetables incredibly well. It also cooks a pretty good fillet when BBQing isn't convenient.

Hi Tim, I never use it to bake bacon. So far I used it for baking cookies and it works great.

You could but, why would you? Bacon is best cooked on a flat even surface. Plus bacon already has grilled-smokey flavored already in the meat. Grease tray is plenty big enough to handle bacon but I would not cook bacon on a grill unless it was wrapped around another meat.

I've never used it for turkey. But, I don't see why not. Just be careful with cooking times. I usually go 1 min./ slice regular Bacon. I would go less w/turkey for less fat. Good luck!

It may be possible, but would probably take a lot of time to cook bacon and steak. The heat does not go up very high and of course it is marketed as a sandwich maker, so I would be worried about the speed at which it could cook anything else thoroughly.

Donald, I run a group for this grill, and one of my friends has done bacon, and it works perfectly!!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/JimMarMicro/

Follow the instructions on the package but if you lost them It involved heating up oil in the pan. Alternatively you could just cook bacon a few times, scrape it clean with a metal spatula and clean with hot water only and a scrub brush. Dont use soap, ever! It will brown and discolor over the next few months but that is ok.

I have used mine to cook bacon, and I have had no trouble with it. I put it on a baking sheet, and it cooks perfectly, I have not noticed an unusual smell, but I have not cooked anything as high as you. Hope you can figure it out.

Just covered the top with a paper towel also put one under neath.This instrument has to be the very best way to make bacon.Have used them for years.

Steak is possible I would think. I haven't tried. No place for the bacon to drain, so I wouldn't even try. The name tells what it is designed for: grilled sandwiches or french toast. Anything much beyond that you should go for a Foreman Grill or other multitasker appliance.

I would suggest cooking the bacon several times, checking carefully to see when it gets to your desired doneness and keeping track of the time it took. I had to cook my bacon several times to get to the crispness I wanted, but I didn't want it burnt.

Depends on the wattage of your microwave, the thickness of the bacon, how many slices you cook at one time and how crisp you want your bacon. I would suggest you start with 4 minutes, look at it and add 30 seconds at a time until you have it at the right crispness. Once you know the total time, then you can set it to that in the future. Oh, I have found that turkey bacon tends to cook faster than regular bacon so you might want to start with 3 minutes!

This type of Teflon coated electric griddle is not recommended for most meats, although it is perfect for cooking a pound of bacon at one time.It does not generate the intense heat necessary for browning meat, or to cook thicker cuts to a safe internal temperature.Its best uses are for pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and bacon.

Hi Deborah H. I don't remember if there were instruction. But, it's pretty simple to use. Just put your bacon on the tray, cover it and set the microwave to cook. I use mine on high and with 4 pieces of bacon I set it to cook about 4 mins. With 5 pieces I set it for 4 1/2 mins. You can always cook longer if its not done to your liking. I hope this helps you.

I made bacon jerky with mine and it ran unattended for over two days straight. So, to answer the question, yes. Absolutely.
