Why Cook with an Air Fryer?
Air fryers use rapid hot air circulation to cook food evenly while creating a crispy outer layer similar to deep frying — but with up to 80% less oil.
They preheat in just 2–3 minutes, cook faster than a traditional oven, and cleanup is as simple as washing a small basket.
Quick Tips for Air Fryer Success
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Air needs to circulate freely. Cook in batches if needed.
- Shake or flip halfway through for even cooking.
- Preheat for 2–3 minutes to create a better crust.
- Use a light spray of oil for golden color.
- Check internal temps: poultry 165°F (74°C), pork 145°F (63°C).
