General Tips:
- Oil Usage: While the air fryer uses significantly less oil, a small amount of oil (1-2 tablespoons) can enhance crispiness and flavor for some foods.
- Even Cooking: For smaller items, shaking the basket every 5-10 minutes ensures even browning. For larger items, flipping them halfway through is recommended.
- Don't Overfill: Avoid overfilling the basket, as this can prevent proper air circulation and lead to uneven cooking. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Check Doneness: Always check the internal temperature of meat and poultry to ensure it reaches a safe cooking temperature.
