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
Paul and Wendy says
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
Kathi says
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
fixing bacon in the Ninja Foodi would be so much easier and not as greasy..have been hinting for one just hope he takes the hintReply
Terri says
Girl if he doesn’t . get it for you go to ninja foodi grill and but it yourself. You can make like four payments. It is so worth it. I have a very bad back and am hanficapped. Makes my life so much easier. GET ONE. GOOD LUCK Terri
