Notes

  • Time might be change according to thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like yours. If you have thinner bacon or like not so crispy bacon, start with 8 minutes. 
  • Begin by adding a little bit of water to the grease catcher. I find this helps reduce smoking and makes cleanup a little easier.
  • Place 6-7 pieces of bacon in the fryer basket. I try not to overlap too much to ensure the each piece cooks evenly.
