Basket air fryers
- Don't overcrowd the basket. Food should be in a single layer to get foods crispy and promote even cooking.
- Choose the right temperature. A general rule of thumb is to lower the temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit from the temperature you would use if cooking in a conventional oven.
- Shake or flip partway through to cook evenly. When cooking small pieces of food, shake the basket halfway through the cook time to promote even cooking and browning. For meat, flip the pieces over halfway through.
- Dry foods well before adding oil, seasonings or placing them in the basket. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
- Preheat the air fryer before placing food inside it. Preheating can help food to cook properly and ensure even browning.
- Don't put the hot basket on a countertop after use. Always set it on a trivet or pot holder to protect your countertops.
- Don't grease the basket with cooking spray as this can damage the non-stick coating over time. Instead, toss your food in oil or rub it down with an oil-saturated paper towel.

Air fryer grill
Air fryers are a convenient countertop convection oven that can be used to make a wide variety of fried foods with little to no oil. They work similarly to convection ovens with a heating mechanism and fan at the top. Once turned on, hot air circulates down and around the food, resulting in foods with the same crispy texture as traditional frying.
An air fryer grill will air fry and sear your food so it’s grilled just like a BBQ. If you choose a Ninja Air Fryer, such as the Ninja Foodi Grill, you’ll be able to sear your food with perfect grill marks and then switch to air frying.
