360°F for 30 to 40 minutes, shake at 20.

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Arrange the beef meatloaf in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowding traps steam and stops browning.

    Check the thickest piece with a thermometer. It is done at 145°F for whole cuts, 160°F for ground.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.
