Tips for air fryer baking

When using the air fryer to bake, avoid very light textured or liquid-y batters, as the vortex created by the appliance is strong enough to make the batter spit or create a volcanic-looking top on your baked item. Keep an eye on sugary mixtures as browning these in an air fryer will be accelerated.

One of the limitations of air fryer cooking is the interior basket size of your appliance. Be sure that the dish or dishes you plan to use in your air fryer are both heatproof and will fit in the appliance, with room for air to circulate. Avoid anything that is too tall and will come in contact with the top element of the appliance, otherwise it will burn. Consider investing in a few air fryer accessories to suit your style of air fryer.

Avoid using baking paper in the air fryer as a cover for food, as it will catch fire. Instead use aluminium foil as a cover, which may need to be weighted down with metal spoons. Seeds should also be avoided as these will fly around the appliance and burn.
