Don't buy a small air fryer. Three quart air fryers are too small to fit a whole meal. Many people who buy small air fryers often replace it with a larger one after a short time. Buy an air fryer that is at least 5.8 quarts 3. Don't forget to preheat your air fryer. Air fryers take time to reach the proper cooking temperature 4. Always pat your food dry before cooking. Wet food will create steam and you won't get the crispy coating you are looking for. 5. Don't use canned cooking spray with additives. These additives can leave a gummy coating in your air fryer 6. Don't use butter or olive oil. They can cause smoke during cooking. Save the butter and olive oil for the end of cooking to add flavor. 7. Don't crowd the air fryer. If your food is too close together the hot air can not circulate properly. Leave a few centimeters between the pieces of food. 8. Don't forget to rotate your food for even cooking. 9. Always check the internal temperature of food for food safety. Follow USDA guidelines for proper cooking temperature 10. Don't forget to clean your air fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions. A dirty air fryer can lead to smoke and bad smells in your kitchen.
