6 Pro Tips
Always preheat
Run your air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
Don't overcrowd
Leave space between items for hot air to circulate.
Shake or flip halfway
Turn food midway through for even browning.
Use a light oil spray
A quick spritz helps food crisp up — don't drown it.
Check early
Air fryers vary. Start checking 2-3 minutes before the suggested time.
Pat food dry
Removing excess moisture gives you a crispier result.
