Tips for better air fryer results
- Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches so hot air can reach every side.
- Shake or flip halfway for even browning.
- Use a little oil on foods like vegetables and frozen fries for extra crunch.
- Check early. Air fryers vary a lot by size and brand.
- Use a food thermometer for meat. Chicken should reach 165°F inside.

Frequently asked questions
How do you convert oven time to air fryer time?
Lower the temperature by 25°F (about 15°C) and cut the cooking time by about 20 percent. A recipe that bakes at 400°F for 25 minutes usually takes about 20 minutes at 375°F in an air fryer.
Do I need to preheat my air fryer?
Many recipes turn out crispier if you preheat for 3 to 5 minutes. Some air fryers heat so fast that preheating is not needed. Check your manual.
Can I put foil or parchment in an air fryer?
Often yes, but keep it weighed down by food so it does not blow into the heating element, and do not cover the whole basket, because air needs to flow.
