Ingredients

4 rashers Thick Cut Back Bacon - around 50g/2oz each

Instructions

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, Start this setting now.
Arrange 4 rashers Thick Cut Back Bacon on the air fryer crisper rack. It doesn't matter if the bacon overlaps slightly.
Cook for 7 minutes at 200c/390f. You will see that it has noticeably shrunk.
Use tongs to turn the bacon over.
Position is so it is now spread out as much as possible. This will ensure the fat crisps up nicely.
Cook for a further 4 minutes at 200c/390f. This should give you soft bacon with crispy fat. For crispier bacon, continue cooking until your preference. Remember that it will continue to crisp up a little further once cooking stops.

Notes

This recipe is tested in a Corsori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can just fit 4 thick back bacon rashers in the basket at a time. This gives just enough room to allow air to circulate.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
