My sister-in-law in Phoenix swears by cooking bacon in the air fryer, but I think it's a mess
She made it at her place last month, saying 400 degrees for 8 minutes was perfect. I tried it at home and got grease splattered all over the inside of my basket. She says I just need to put a little water in the bottom drawer, but that feels wrong. Has anyone else found a clean way to do bacon, or is it just not worth it?

Oh, my neighbor had that happen! She lined the basket with foil and poked a few holes, said it caught most of the mess. Still had to wipe it down, but no big splatter.

Oh man, I had the exact same disaster! The splatter was unreal. I started putting a single slice of plain bread in the bottom of the basket under the rack. It soaks up a ton of the grease and makes cleanup way easier, you just toss the bread. Also, try lowering the temp to like 370. It takes a minute or two longer but doesn't seem to pop as violently.
