How To Heat Precooked Bacon Recipes

AIR FRYER BACON

Steps:

• Arrange bacon in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket, making sure not to overlap. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer.
• Set the Air Fryer to 375°F and cook for 5 minutes. Use tongs to flip the slices.Cook again for another 4-6 minutes, depending on your preference.
• Drain bacon grease between batches and use tongs to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Bacon will crisp up as it cools.

PRE-COOKED BACON

Steps:

• Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with foil. Make sure the rims are deep enough to prevent bacon fat dripping.
• Lay the strips of bacon on the foil in a single layer.
• Put on racks in the middle of a cold oven and turn the oven on to 400F. Bake for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, turn the sheets around and switch shelves to encourage even cooking. Bake a second 10 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure you are not overcooking the bacon.
• Remove the bacon to plates or baking sheets lined with paper towels to drain.
• When sufficiently cooled, layer with freezer paper, parchment, or waxed paper in between and freeze.
• To serve, briefly microwave between layers of paper towels or pan fry. Used as-is for dishes that will be further cooked such as chowders and casseroles.

AIR FRYER BACON

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Lay bacon in the air fryer basket in a single layer; some overlap is okay.
• Fry for 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until bacon is crisp, about 7 minutes more. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease.

CARAMELIZED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a shallow bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Dip bacon slices in the brown sugar mixture to coat, and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake 8 minutes in the preheated oven, turning once, until dark golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
