Bacon is a delicious treat for breakfast, but it can often be messy and annoying to cook if you fry it in a pan. Fortunately, there is a much better cooking method.

bacon on the stove is simple, but the cleanup afterwards can be annoying. No one wants to spend their morning scrubbing a greasy frying pan that makes their kitchen smell awful.

However, Sarah Rossi, a cook and founder of , has shared there is an easier way to get "perfectly crispy bacon" that "cooks quickly with little mess" as all you need is an

Sarah said: "Have you tried cooking air fryer bacon yet? We love air fryer recipes for making life in the kitchen more simple and this one is a favourite. Perfectly crispy bacon, no messy frying pan!"

Making bacon in an air fryer is not only healthier and takes less time, but it also makes the bacon taste much better.

When bacon is fried, the fatty white part cooks much quicker than the pink meat, which can result in the edges of the bacon being burned while the middle is often undercooked.

When bacon is cooked in an air fryer, the heat surrounds every part of the bacon, crisping it up evenly and giving it a better, crunchier texture.

Cooking without oil means the bacon will not soak in grease, so it will taste better and there will be less mess when you bite into your bacon sandwich.

Simply line an air fryer tray or basket with baking paper and then place your bacon on it.

Make sure the bacon does not overlap so each slice cooks evenly. It is fine if the bacon touches each other, but make sure the rashers are not on top of each other.

Preheat the air fryer for three minutes at 200C. Then add your bacon and cook for five minutes.

Drain the fat and flip the bacon over when the cooking time is up. Then cook it again for two to three minutes.

Once your bacon comes out of the air fryer, it will be much tastier and healthier than it would be cooked in a frying pan.

To clean up, simply peel the baking paper from the tray or basket and place it in the bin.
