Leave space between foods to allow hot air to circulate. Cook in batches if needed.
Use a Little Oil Wisely:
A light spritz of oil improves browning and crispiness. Use oils with high smoke points like avocado or olive oil.
Shake or Flip Midway:
For fries, veggies, or anything that cooks unevenly, shake or flip the food halfway through.
Use Parchment Paper Sparingly:
Only use perforated parchment paper made for air fryers—and never during preheating without food on it.
Avoid Wet Batters:
Skip runny batters (like for fried chicken) unless frozen. Use dry coatings or dredge in breadcrumbs for a crisp crust.
Clean After Every Use:
Prevent buildup and odors by cleaning the basket, tray, and inside regularly.
Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment:
Try veggies, meats, frozen foods, or even desserts—air fryers can do more than fries and nuggets!
