Serious question, did I ruin my air fryer by cooking bacon in it?
I threw 4 strips of thick cut bacon in my Ninja at 400 degrees last week and the grease splattered up into the heating coil and now every single thing I cook tastes like burnt pork. I did some reading and it turns out you're supposed to pour a little water in the bottom or use a drip tray liner, which I never did. Has anyone else dealt with this and did the smell ever come out, or am I just stuck with bacon flavored fries for the rest of my life?
