Tips for Cooking with an Air Fryer

1. Preheat your air fryer. Preheating helps ensure more even cooking and better texture, leaving your food crispier and with more consistent results.
2. Don’t overload the air fryer basket—this helps food cook evenly and become crispy.
3. Shake or flip the food halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and a crispy, golden finish.
4. Use a small amount of oil for extra crispiness.
