Air Fryer Tips for Perfect Results Every Time

Air Frying 101

Less oil, crispy results. Here's how to master your air fryer.

The Basics

2. **Don't Crowd** - Leave space for air circulation

3. **Shake** - Halfway through, shake the basket

4. **Spray** - Light oil spray helps crispiness

  • Common Mistakes

    Using Too Much Oil

    A light spray is all you need. Too much oil makes food soggy.

    Not Preheating

    Cold start = longer cooking and less crispy results.

    Overcrowding

    Air can't circulate. Food steams instead of crisps.

    Opening Too Often

    Temperature drops. Let it cook without checking.
