Crab Cakes in the Air Fryer

Cook frozen crab cakes straight from the freezer at 370°F (185°C) for 10-14 minutes. No thawing. Brand notes included.

370°F for 10 to 14 minutes.

  1. 1

    Do not thaw. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.

  2. 2

    Spread the frozen crab cakes in a single layer straight from the bag.

  3. 3

    Air fry for 10 to 14 minutes.

  4. 4

    Follow the package directions and check the center for doneness. Browning alone does not show that raw meat or poultry is cooked safely.

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

Worth knowing. Gentle flip at 7 min — they're fragile.
