DO I have to cut the bacon in half?
No. It's just that in my opinion it's tastier that way.
How long should I cook the bacon?
I like my bacon less crispy and cooked. So I like to go with 5 minutes. Feel free to play with the cooking time 🙂
The time to cook bacon will also depend on 3 things:
Bacon thickness
Bacon strip size
Bacon fat

What can I use instead of the Air Fryer Lid?
You can use Instant pot Duo crisp, Mealthy CrispLid, Ninja Foodi or any other similar appliance you have.
Can I make bacon without Air Fryer at all?
Of course, just follow these 3 simple steps.
- Cut bacon in half.
- Press saute and saute for 2 minutes per side or as much as you like.
- Serve and enjoy 🙂
What else can I add?
You can even add a little flavor by adding a dash of black pepper during the cooking process.
How to keep Bacon from smoking the Air Fryer Lid?
Your Instant Pot may smoke when cooking bacon.
To prevent that, you can add a ½ cup of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot before cooking in order to cut the smoke.
Which kind of Bacon should I use?
Look for bacon that has a mix of both fat and meat — not too fatty, and not too lean.
How to serve?
Instant Pot Bacon can be served alone as a snack or a side dish for a perfect breakfast.
