Air-Frying Ham Steak: The Perfect Timing Guide

Air fryer ham steaks are quick and easy to cook. You only need a few ingredients and you can have a tasty meal on the table in less than 10 minutes. To cook ham steaks in an air fryer, you need to preheat the air fryer to around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You can then add the ham steaks to the air fryer basket in a single layer, so the air flow will cook the steaks evenly. You can then cook the steaks for around 5 minutes, before flipping them and brushing with maple syrup or brown sugar, and cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit

If you are reheating ham steaks, preheat your fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much lower than the original heat to avoid burning.

Once the air fryer is preheated, cut the ham steaks in half if desired, and then brush them with maple syrup. You can also add a sprinkle of brown sugar and a pineapple slice on top of the ham.

Place the ham steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer so the air flow will cook the steaks evenly. Use the Air Fry function and air fry the ham steaks at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.

Flip the ham steaks and brush with maple syrup, then add an additional 3 minutes of cook time. You can also air fry the ham steaks on the other side for 7 to 8 minutes.

Air fry for 5 minutes

Air frying ham steak is a quick and easy way to cook a tasty meal. You'll only need a few ingredients and it should be ready in less than 10 minutes.

First, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You can prepare the air fryer basket with a non-stick cooking spray, such as olive oil or avocado oil, or use parchment paper or aluminium foil.

Next, add the ham steak to the air fryer basket in a single layer. This will ensure the air flow cooks the steak evenly. Use the Air Fry function and air fry the ham steak for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, open the air fryer and flip the ham steak. You can then brush the ham with maple syrup and add an additional 3 minutes of cook time.

Once the timer goes off, remove the ham steak from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favourite sides.

Flip the ham steak

After the ham steak has been in the air fryer for 5 minutes, it's time to flip it over. Use tongs to turn it over carefully, as the basket will be hot.

At this point, you can brush the ham steak with maple syrup, or sprinkle with brown sugar and lay a pineapple slice on top. This will give the ham a sweet, caramelised glaze.

If you are using a basket-style 5.8 qt Cosori air fryer, you should then cook the ham steak for an additional 3 minutes. However, if you are using a different air fryer model, the cook time may differ, so keep an eye on it.

If you are cooking the ham steak at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, you should cook it for 7 to 8 minutes on each side.
