How to Reheat Mac & Cheese in the Air Fryer

Reheat mac & cheese in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 4-6 minutes so it comes out melty instead of soggy.

300°F for 4 to 6 minutes.

1. 1

   Take the mac & cheese out of the fridge while the air fryer preheats to 300°F.

2. 2

   Place it in the basket in a single layer. No foil unless the food is saucy.

3. 3

   Heat for 4 to 6 minutes, checking once at 4.

4. 4

   Check that leftovers reach 165°F throughout with a food thermometer.

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