GoKawiilCNET taste-test finds air fryer beats skillet and oven for cooking bacon
A CNET writer compared cooking bacon in a frying pan, oven and air fryer, and found the air fryer delivered the crispiest, most evenly cooked results with minimal splatter and cleanup. The pan method produced curled strips and required constant attention to avoid grease splatter, while the oven method reduced mess but demanded more prep work.
