Step 3: Flip the bacon using tongs and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Step 4: Remove the cooked bacon from the grill and place it on paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Preparing The Power Smokeless Grill For Bacon
Before cooking bacon on your Power Smokeless Grill, it is important to properly prepare the grill. Fortunately, the lid, grill plate, drip tray, and water tray are all dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.
To begin, preheat your grill to high for 5 minutes with the lid closed. This will ensure that the grill is hot enough to cook the bacon evenly. Make sure that the drip tray is in place and have paper towels ready for the cooked bacon.
Once the grill is preheated, lay the bacon strips down on the grill, making sure that they are not touching. If they fit, place them horizontally to get some nice grill marks. Close the lid and cook for 7 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of your bacon.
After 7 to 10 minutes, flip the bacon using tongs and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. It’s important to keep an eye on the bacon as it cooks so that it doesn’t burn or become too crispy.
Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and place it on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. With these simple steps, you can easily prepare your Power Smokeless Grill for cooking delicious and crispy bacon.
Choosing The Right Bacon For Your Grill
Choosing the right bacon for your grill is essential to ensure that your bacon cooks evenly and doesn’t fall through the grates. There are three main types of bacon: standard, center-cut, and thick-cut.
Standard bacon is sliced very thin and is all-purpose. It cooks quickly, so keep a close eye on it and keep the cooking time to a minimum.
Center-cut bacon is cut close to the bone in the pig belly, making it a much leaner cut than the other types of bacon. It has roughly 30% less fat, so you will want to cut the cooking time down.
Thick-cut bacon is about twice as thick as standard bacon, which allows it to hold its shape better. It’s ideal for grilling and can cook a little longer without getting burnt.
When choosing bacon for your grill, opt for thick-cut slices as they work best for grilling. If your bacon slices are thin, they might fall through the grates or burn quickly. You will also need a neutral high-smoke point oil for prepping the grill grates. Vegetable oil or canola oil are good choices for this.
In addition to choosing the right type of bacon, consider using “naturally smoked” bacon for a deeper, richer flavor. Look for this label on the package, indicating that the bacon spent time in an actual smoker. This type of bacon is best for adding to recipes like spaghetti carbonara.
By choosing the right type of bacon and preparing your grill properly, you can achieve perfectly grilled bacon every time on your Power Smokeless Grill.
Setting The Temperature And Time For Perfect Bacon
When it comes to setting the temperature and time for perfect bacon on your Power Smokeless Grill, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it’s important to preheat the grill to high for 5 minutes with the lid closed. This ensures that the grill is hot enough to cook the bacon evenly and to get those nice grill marks.
Next, lay the bacon strips down on the grill, making sure they are not touching. If they fit, place them horizontally to get those coveted grill marks. Close the lid and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon. It’s important to note that thicker bacon will require a longer cooking time.
After 7 to 10 minutes, flip the bacon using tongs and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Again, thicker bacon may require a longer cooking time.
Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and place it on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. And there you have it – perfectly cooked bacon on your Power Smokeless Grill!
It’s important to note that cooking times may vary depending on your specific grill and the thickness of your bacon. It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your bacon as it cooks and adjust the cooking time as needed. With a little practice, you’ll be able to achieve perfectly cooked bacon every time on your Power Smokeless Grill.
Flipping And Checking Your Bacon
Flipping your bacon halfway through the cooking process is important to ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides. Use tongs to gently flip the bacon strips over, being careful not to tear them. If your Power Smokeless Grill doesn’t cook evenly, you may need to rotate the bacon strips as well.
Check the bacon after the first 7 minutes of cooking to see if it’s starting to brown and crisp up. If it’s not quite done yet, close the lid and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on the bacon to make sure it doesn’t burn or become too crispy.
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the grill and place it on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Empty the drip tray and repeat the process with any remaining bacon slices.
