Top Tips
- Preheat your air fryer. Preheating the air fryer helps make the food cook properly and helps to make things crispier.
- Don't overcrowd the food. If food is stacked on top of each other, it won't cook evenly and the part that's covered is more likely to be soggy.
- Flip or shake. Flipping food (especially things like French fries) helps make them evenly cooked and crispy.
- Don't let the food stick to the basket. Using parchment liners, silicone liners, or a little cooking oil can prevent sticking.
- Check for doneness. Food can cook quicker than expected so check it often.
