Two Tips to Reduce your Mess with Air Frying Bacon.

1. Place 2 tablespoons of water into the air fryer basket. This will simply reduce the amount of smoke that will come from your air fryer. Remember bacon is really fatty and the grease will drip down into the basket. Causing the grease to heat up, and that causes the smoke. When you add the water, it reduces the amount of smoke.
2. Place a piece of bread between the baskets. Before you do this, check with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
