Some recommendations for air fryer users

Use a small amount of oil to enhance crispiness.

A spray or brush of oil works better than pouring.

Nonstick cooking sprays may harm some air fryer coatings, so use sparingly or choose oils like avocado, olive, or canola.

4. Shake or Flip Halfway

For fries, nuggets, or roasted veggies, shake the basket or flip the food halfway through cooking.

Ensures even browning on all sides.

5. Adjust Cooking Times and Temperatures

Air fryers cook faster than conventional ovens.

Start with 20–30% less time than the recipe calls for and monitor closely.

Check for doneness, especially with meat, using a thermometer.

6. Use Parchment Paper or Liners Wisely
