Air fryers cook quickly, so a few simple habits make a big difference in the final result.
Leave Room for Airflow
Arrange food with some space around it whenever possible so the surface can brown instead of steam.
Use Temperature, Not Guesswork
Check thicker cuts with a meat thermometer and remember that seafood can overcook quickly.
Start Checking Early
Air fryers vary. Check food near the low end of the suggested cooking range, then add time as needed.
