Holy yumminess. Even though I’ve had an air fryer for two years, I just got my Ninja foodi. I saw this post and decided finally to air fry some bacon in my foodi because my turkey sandwich looked so naked on its own. Wow. I won’t be pulling out a pan for cooking bacon anymore. Thank you for such an obvious idea. It only took 10 minutes with no flipping and I didn’t have to stand by any pan.Reply

Do you like cooking bacon this way or with the rack better? I like saving bacon grease to use when cooking other foods like cabbage or green beans. Y’all are my favorite people!! Love you❤

We LOVE to lay the bacon flat on the metal rack on the bottom setting. A Crock Posse member mentioned it to us a while back and we tried it and loved it. We should tape another video showing you guys!

Air Fry turkey bacon in the Ninja Foodi was great. I followed the directions for cooking pork bacon.
I’m a new Foodi owner and loving it so far.Reply

Just tried doing bacon in Foodi Air fryer and I love It. I like the way the bacon comes out not as greasy as it does for me in the fry pan. I also like it as it not as messy lol. My Foodi has a medal rack insert and the black air fry insert, tried them both and both eays is good. I did notice with the medal rack the bacon does get a little crispy quicker. As alway it always depends on your bacon. But try it and see for yourself, you will love it.Reply

Doesn’t it make the top lid messy?
- SuperDuper says
I put in my raised Instant Pot egg cooker, on top of tree Air Crisper basket, and drape a full rasher of bacon, so each slice mostly hangs down. It crisps up perfectly, drains fat, and is ready so fast without any painful splattersReply
- Debbie says
Just got a ninja foodi, and am brand new to pressure cooking. I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. I tried the Mac n cheese in the ninja cookbook, they diffinately have an error, to much salt. Please if you try this don’t add 2 tablespoons of.salt.

- Chris Pratt says
Surely that is two *teaspoons* of salt. Two tablespoons of salt is a ton of salt.
- Carol says
Yes it was awful, but what I learned is you are supposed to use kosher salt which is different, however, for me, it’s still to much, I just do my own seasons.
- Barbara Boren says

- Terri says
