Pro Tips for the Best Results

Adjust Time to Your Preference

Softer bacon = 6–7 minutes, extra crispy = 9–10 minutes.

Watch Closely Near the End

Bacon can go from golden to burnt quickly—check every 30 seconds in the final minutes.

Use a Rack or Crisper Tray

Allows grease to drip away and prevents sogginess.
