Instructions

For streaky bacon:

Place the streaky bacon in your ninja air fryer and cook for 6 minutes at 200C (390F) or 180C (355F) depending on how crispy you like your bacon.
You can optionally flip the bacon halfway, but I didn't. Once you've cooked your bacon how you like it, serve up with the rest of your meal!
For super crispy bacon, cook it for 200C (390F) and as you can see in the photos further up in this blog post, it's very crispy and the fattier parts of the bacon have charred slightly. If this is how you like your bacon, cook it based on these instructions.
For a less crispy, more fatty bacon, cook for 6 minutes at 180C (355F). It leaves I would say around 50% of the bacon un-crispy, giving you more meatier fattier bits to bite on. If this is how you like your streaky bacon cooked, make sure to use these instructions! If you like your streaky bacon completely un-crispy, then cook the bacon for 6 minutes at 160C (320F).

For back bacon:

Place your bacon into the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes at either 180C (355F) or 200C (390F) depending on how crispy and cooked you like it.
You can optionally flip the bacon halfway, but I didn't. Once you've cooked your bacon how you like it, serve up with the rest of your meal!
For bacon whereby the fattier edges of the bacon have crisped up and are slightly charred, cook at 200C (390F) for 8 minutes (see images further up this blog).
For less crispiness around the edges and more fattiness, cook at 180C (355F) for 8 minutes. The ends are still crispy but not as much compared to the 200C/390F bacon. If this is still too crispy for you, cook the bacon at 160C (320F) for 8 minutes.
