Research reviews and check that youre buying one with excellent quality.
2 Overcrowding the basket
Fill your basket no more than halfway full.
A square basket can fit more inside it than a circular panel.
You only need 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil for breaded foods like fries.
It also helps the spices and seasonings adhere to the food.
You also dont need it when you are baking.
Do not use a pressurized can sprayer.
Purchase a good oil sprayer instead and put your oil in it.
Take note that you should use oil that has a high smoke point, like avocado oil.
5 Not checking foods temperature
Invest in a small instant-read digital meat thermometer.
7 Cooking fatty foods incorrectly
You dont need oil for fatty foods.
To avoid smoking when cooking them, put a little water down the basket.
9 Cooking wet food
You cannot air fry foods that have a wet batter.
For any food you want to get crispy and brown, you should probably pat it dry first.
10 Not adapting recipes
Air frying food is not a perfect one-to-one conversion from baking.
confirm you do not do over the sides.
you might also use parchment paper with holes.
Do not ever put wax paper and paper towels in your air fryer.
