Air fryers are both easy to use and a healthy alternative to deep frying. Here are a few things to ensure you’re using your air fryer safely and getting the best results.
- Don’t overfill the basket. Make sure there’s enough room for the hot air to circulate around your food. That way, everything will cook evenly and come out crispy.
- Stay away from using metal utensils in the basket. They can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
- Be careful not to touch the heating element or the inside of the air fryer while it’s still hot. It can burn you.
- Don’t use parchment paper or foil when you’re preheating the air fryer. The fan can blow them around, which could be dangerous. But it’s okay to use them once you’ve put the food in the basket.
