Air Fryer Tips & Tricks
🔥 Getting Started
Preheating is Key
Always preheat your air fryer for 2-3 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking and better results.
Don't Overcrowd
Leave space between food items for proper air circulation. Cook in batches if necessary for best results.
Shake or Flip
Shake the basket or flip food halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides.
🥘 Cooking Techniques
Oil Spraying
Use a light oil spray for crispier results. Too much oil can cause smoking and uneven cooking.
Temperature Control
Start with lower temperatures and increase if needed. Most foods cook well between 350°F-400°F (175°C-200°C).
Layering Technique
For multiple items, place larger pieces on the bottom and smaller ones on top for even cooking.
🍟 Perfect Results
Frozen Foods
Add 2-3 minutes to cooking time for frozen foods. No need to thaw most items before air frying.
Moisture Control
Pat foods dry before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness. Excess moisture prevents proper browning.
Resting Time
Let food rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute and improve texture.
🧹 Maintenance & Care
Regular Cleaning
Clean the basket and tray after each use. Soak in warm soapy water for stubborn residue.
Prevent Sticking
Use parchment paper or aluminum foil for sticky foods. Make sure to cut holes for air circulation.
Storage Tips
Store your air fryer in a cool, dry place. Keep the basket and tray separate for better air circulation.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Overfilling the Basket
This prevents proper air circulation and results in uneven cooking.
❌ Not Preheating
Skipping preheating leads to longer cooking times and less crispy results.
❌ Using Too Much Oil
Excess oil causes smoking and can make food greasy instead of crispy.
❌ Ignoring Food Size
Cut food into similar sizes for even cooking. Large pieces may be raw inside while small ones burn.
