Tips for Cooking with an Air Fryer
There are a few things that you should keep in mind when you are cooking with an air fryer! I’ve come up with a list of my best tips so that no matter which healthy air fryer recipe is, it will turn out fantastic for you!
Shake: It’s always important to shake your basket (or flip your food) halfway through the cooking process. This helps so that your food doesn’t stick together and will get that crispy texture on all sides.
Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: The last thing that you want to do is cook layers upon layers in the air fryer. It’s best to cook small batches in one layer at the bottom of the basket. When you overcrowd it, then your food sticks together and will turn out soggy and mushy.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Just like your oven, your air fryer recipes will turn out the best if you preheat your air fryer! If you don’t have a preheat button, then just turn it on for about 2-3 minutes to the temperature that your food needs to cook at. Getting it nice and hot before you start will help your food not be undercooked when it’s done!
