Zubereitung

1. 1

   Lay the rashers side by side in a single layer in the basket, spaced apart and without overlapping; do not stack anything. With a larger quantity, work in two batches, as overlapping rashers stick together and stay soft where they touch.

2. 2

   Pour the tablespoon of water into the drawer under the basket. The rendered fat drips into it and then does not smoke on the hot tray.

3. 3

   Set the airfryer to 180 °C and cook the bacon. Preheating is of no use here, because the fat should run out slowly — in an already hot basket the thin rashers curl up at once.

4. 4

   Turn the rashers with tongs and cook them for another three to five minutes, until they have the crispness you want.

5. 5

   Drain the bacon on kitchen paper and season it with pepper to taste.
