Does an air fryer make the bacon crispy?

Trying to get the perfect bacon crispiness is an ongoing struggle. There are so many factors that go into creating the perfect bacon, but one of the most important is how you cook it. A lot of people will say that if you fry your bacon in a skillet it will get crispy, but some would argue that using an air fryer makes it more crispy.

We see two very different results when we compare frying bacon in oil on a pan with an air fryer. The only way to find out which one is better for making bacon crispy is to test them both out and see which one tastes better.
