Do you use an air fryer? You don t want to make these 5 mistakes

Have you recently purchased an air fryer? Then a world will probably open up for you. It is better to avoid these mistakes.

1. It is not preheated

Just like an oven and a deep-fat fryer, you also need to preheat an airfryer. In this way, the hot air will circulate at the right temperature and the basket will be well heated.

2. The basket is too full

If you fill the basket too full, there will not be enough space left to cook the food from all sides. This also prevents a crispy layer from forming.

3. Do not shake the basket

Shaking the basket in between also ensures that your food is cooked evenly.

4. Cutting vegetables too small

You have probably made this mistake before. To let enough air through, there are holes in the basket of an airfryer. If you cut vegetables too small, they will fall through and burn.

5. You don't clean it properly

Sounds like a crap job, but it's done in no time. With most models you can easily remove the basket with grid. It is best to clean the airfryer after every use.
