Warning: My coworker's air fryer bacon hack is so good, we're all copying it!

Burned my last batch so badly the smoke alarm held a grudge. My kitchen still smells like regret and cheap pork.

My oven's timer gets set for 9 minutes at 380 degrees, no matter what the package says. @owens.jenny, your smoke alarm story made me double-check my own settings last week (it's way too easy to zone out for that extra minute). That lower temp gives the fat time to render without the strips going straight from floppy to charcoal.

Ever notice how we all end up with these weird personal rules for cooking that totally ignore the instructions? My microwave popcorn says 2 minutes but I stop it at 1:45 every single time because that one extra second turns it into a charcoal briquette.

That hack is way too tempting, but @owens.jenny I feel you. My last attempt gave the smoke alarm a whole new core memory of failure.
