I wanted to point out a few things to help you get used to cooking in your air fryer. I promise it’s easy to use, with these helpful tips and hacks to use along the way. Let’s take a quick look:

Never overcrowd the basket. You need space between the food so the air can get in between it. It’s how it cooks, so it is important not to skip this step.
You will need to flip the food halfway through cooking. It’s vital to turn over the food so it can cook evenly and on both sides.
Spray the food with oil before cooking. To prevent sticking and keep the breading on foods, you need to spray it with oil before you begin cooking it. It’s best to use olive oil or vegetable oil and put it in a spray bottle instead of using non-stick spray.
Add aluminum foil to the bottom of the fryer. This will catch drippings and makes clean up even easier!
