Common Air Fryer Mistakes You Need to Avoid
Here are some common mistakes that could affect your air fryer’s performance or even cause safety issues:
-
Don’t use baking paper unless it’s pinned down with food: Loose baking paper can fly up during cooking, potentially catching fire in the heating element. Instead, use perforated air fryer liners made specifically for air fryers.
-
Don’t overcrowd the basket: Overcrowding the basket reduces airflow, leading to soggy food instead of crispy results.
-
Neglecting cleaning: Built-up grease and food particles can cause smoke or, in worst-case scenarios, a kitchen fire. Be sure to clean your air fryer regularly to avoid this hazard.
