TheBookHippie @Andrew65 oh that‘s a thought!! 4mo

TheBookHippie @JenReadsAlot I‘m trying it I‘ll report back! 4mo

AnnR I immensely dislike frying bacon. So messy! 4mo

kspenmoll Oven! 4mo

Tamra Me too, oven only. Never looked back! 4mo

TheBookHippie @AnnR I loathe it!!! It‘s such a mess! 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie So simple, put it in and leave it and then can drain off all the fat. 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 So doing that! 4mo

Tamra I put mine on a parchment lined baking sheet (twist slices a little) and put in a cold oven - bake at 375. (edited) 4mo

AnnR Great tip, @Andrew65. Now I just need to purchase the AirFryer. 😂🙂👍 4mo

AnnR I think I'll use the oven method this year. Sometimes I forget about that as an option, so this was a timely post. 🙂👍 4mo

TheBookHippie @AnnR YAY!!! 4mo

TheBookHippie @Tamra oh good tip!!!! I‘m writing this all down for next year!!! 4mo

BookmarkTavern Cook on the griddle, but only so I can fry the hash browns in the bacon grease. 😂 4mo

TheBookHippie @BookmarkTavern HA!!! 💯 4mo

Tamra @BookmarkTavern 😋 4mo

CocoReads I usually make my husband cook it. Although he about smoked us out a couple days ago. Saved this article to give it a try next time I‘m off. 4mo

TheBookHippie @CocoReads IT WORKED!! I‘m so happy… 4mo

CocoReads Yay! For although I love it, like you, I hate cooking it. 4mo

TheBookHippie @CocoReads loathe. 4mo

Andrew65 @AnnR 😂😂😂 Best thing we ever bought, use it all the time. 4mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yum 😋 4mo

dabbe I don't; my husband does! 🤩😂😃 4mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe it‘s such a mess 🤣🙃👩🏻‍🍳 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie It is, but man, the smell it makes throughout the house is beyond divine! 🤩 4mo

CoffeeNBooks I cook mine in the oven on a Pampered Chef stone bar pan- no messy kitchen clean-up, it cooks perfectly, and my kitchen still smells heavenly bacon-y. 😁 4mo

AnnR @Andrew65 - Just wondering if there is a specific brand of AirFryer you prefer? I've looked at sales during the past 2 years and become completely overwhelmed with all the choices. Some reviews by customers are positive and some negative. 😵 4mo

TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks OH!!! I have mine somewhere!!! I‘m going to dig it out! I never thought of that! 4mo

TheBookHippie @AnnR oh yes @Andrew65 guide us! 4mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🙃 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie 😂 Must admit ours wasn‘t an expensive high end model one. Just a bog standard one from Russell Hobbs for less than £50 ($63) but only the two of us. Do use it a lot, lot cheaper to run than ovens and cooks much quicker and usually cooks things better. The word fryer is a misnomer, we use ours basically as a mini oven but also do chips in it. Best tasting chicken also comes out of it. @AnnR (edited) 4mo

Andrew65 We just explored some YouTube videos when buying one and looked at recommended models. Many of the Ninjas seem to do more than we wanted. We just looked for one we could use in the Motorhome as well when we‘re away rather than burning gas for the Oven. So just went for one with a single cooking drawer. If we used for home only might have gone for two drawers but kept away from the expensive high end models. @AnnR @TheBookHippie 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I‘ve been wanting one a long time for chicken! 4mo

Andrew65 @AnnR @TheBookHippie Feel if you keep things simplistic and think as a mini oven can‘t go far wrong. Also allows things to be brushed with oil when needed for air frying option, as for chips etc. Does also make a mean Hunter‘s Chicken within about 20 minutes! I think the unknowns kept us from buying one for ages, eventually picked one up in the Summer and wouldn‘t go back. Just keep things simple. 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I love the taste of chicken in it, best chicken I know. Also cooks things about 2/3 time and usually 20 degrees centigrade / Celsius lower. Must be more environmentally friendly as a result. Rarely have our oven on these days, barring Christmas Day 😂 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 yes these are the reasons I want one!! 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Put simply anything you can cook in an oven or in oil can be cooked in an air fryer but more healthily. Wouldn‘t go back. 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 most evening meal is just me and son (17)and grandson (9)with everyone else to work -so I thought this would be perfect! 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie It definitely would be. (edited) 4mo

Andrew65 Next up for me is trying to make scones in it. 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @Andrew65 Now I think I need an air fryer! 😁 My husband & I are soon to be empty-nesters, and it sounds like an air fryer would be perfect for cooking meals for just the 2 of us. 4mo

TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks Right? We all “need” one! 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @TheBookHippie Of course! If it's just a want, I can't justify it... but if I *need* an air fryer, it's imperative. 😂 4mo

TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks 🤣💯 4mo

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks It‘s a ‘need‘ 😂 and will quickly pay for itself with the cost of energy! 4mo

AnnR Thank you, @Andrew65. I likely will get one soonish. Our (gas) oven uses a lot of energy and most of the time I cook for two of us. I like the healthier aspect of an AirFryer, too. At least for today's meal I'm cooking enough food to make it worth turning on the oven. 4mo

AnnR Who knew that bacon would spark such a lively holiday discussion!? 😁😁😁 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @Andrew65 I now have one sitting in my Amazon cart. 😂 4mo

TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks ME TOO!!! 4mo

TheBookHippie @AnnR 🤣♥️🥓🥓🥓 It‘s so much fun! 4mo

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks 😂 That‘s where we bought ours from! Just call me an enabler 😂 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie 😂😂😂 I should be on commission! 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 YES!!! ♥️🤣🥓🏆 4mo

Andrew65 @AnnR It‘s alway food that sparks Christmas Day discussion. Last Christmas Day it was pancakes and what we have with them. @TheBookHippie (edited) 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Yes! I remember the Great Pancake Discussion of 2022! This is why I love the Litsy community so much. 😁 4mo

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks I wonder what food product it will be in 2024! @TheBookHippie 4mo

TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks OMG I still use lemon!!! @Andrew65 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love Litsy for this reason!!! 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Hooray, glad to see lemon has lasted the course! 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 convinced school lemon was better at free breakfast as well 👀 I‘m a bit of a trouble maker… 4mo

Catsandbooks I only do bacon on a foil lined tray in the oven and after it has cooled I just have to wrap up the foil and toss it. Super easy clean up! 4mo

BethM This thread is spectacular. My hubs claims it tastes different in the oven hence, I don‘t cook it he has to. But ugh the clean up 😂 4mo

TheBookHippie @BethM this thread is life! 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie We hadn‘t noticed 😂😂😂 4mo

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I keep that part quiet! 🤣 4mo

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie 🤫🤫🤫🤫🫡 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I thought you could both appreciate the fact that my husband remembered me telling him about this conversation, and just got me an air fryer for my birthday! 😁 3mo

TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks YAY!!!!!!! 🥓🥓🥓 3mo
