Do I put it in the basket on lay it down on the rack
I use the basket Nometha. Enjoy!
I marinated a chuck roast, will I still pat dry? Do I drizzle extra marinade while cooking or put in pan
Hi Jill, I would make sure it wasn’t dripping in the marinade but you could skip the step of patting dry to avoid rubbing off the delicious marinade. You will have to let us know how it turns out and whether you cook it in a pan or not!
is it preheat to whatever and then drop it down to the desired cooking temperature for the amount of time required to get what you want? rare at 120 for 10 minutes for example? want that rare result
and you can pull the meat away with a fork. drops off the bone with no effort.
Hi William, you will still cook the roast beef at 390°F in the air fryer. Those temperatures listed are the internal temperatures for that type of beef (rare, medium, well done). So cook for 15 minutes at 390F, check the internal temperature then continue cooking until it reached your desired internal temperature. Hope that helps!
For the vortex roast beef….. what cut of beef would you suggest for tenderness?
Hi Norma, you can use any beef roast you have on hand. But I really enjoy using a beef tenderloin roast though for tenderness. Enjoy!
Recipes give a temperature but not what program to use, ie air dry, bake, etc. Does it make a difference?
My general rule of thumb is if you want it crispy use AIRFRY, otherwise, I just use BAKE.
my air fryer has options to air fry, bake or roast. What setting do I use for this roast recipe?
