Tips for Cooking In The Air Fryer
- Air fryers are basically just countertop convections ovens. So most things you can do in the oven, work great in an air fryer. It just cooks faster and tends to get things crispier.
- You want to make sure that your food is in a single layer when you are cooking. If it is touching or layered on top, the air will not circulate and you will not get evenly cooked or crispy food.
- Most recipes call for adding a little bit of oil. It is best to spray your food outside of the air fryer, and not spray the actual basket. This will just prolong the life of your basket.
- I like to flip half way through cooking in most recipes. This will depend on the model you have, if it is necessary. Some have a heating element on the top and bottom, so it isn’t necessary. But if you only have 1 heating element, it is best to flip during cooking.
