Frequently asked questions

How to stop food from flying around in an air fryer?

To prevent food from flying around in an air fryer, do not overcrowd the basket. This allows proper airflow and prevents lighter items from being blown around. You can also place a rack or a trivet over the food to weigh it down. Using toothpicks or skewers to secure loose items like leafy vegetables or thin slices of food also helps.

How long to run the air fryer before using it?

Before using your air fryer for the first time, it is recommended to preheat it for 3-5 minutes. This ensures the air fryer reaches the right temperature for cooking. Some air fryers come with a preheat function, making it easier to get started, while others may require manually setting the temperature and timer for preheating.

How do air fryers cook so fast?
Air fryers cook quickly by circulating hot air at high speed around the food. This rapid air circulation creates an effect like deep frying, giving food a crispy outer layer while cooking it evenly inside. The high temperatures (up to 200°C) and focused airflow reduce cooking time compared to traditional methods.
