General Air Fryer Usage Tips
- Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.
- Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
- Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
- For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering when possible.
- Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
- Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
- For best results, arrange food on the tray in a single layer.
- If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.
- Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure reheated foods reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
