How do you ensure the best frying result with your airfryer?

A few things can influence the cooking result of your airfryer. For example, it's best to not fill most airfryers to the top and you have to preheat the airfryer. This way, you make sure the food heats up and cooks correctly. In this article, we'll give you a few tips for the best cooking result.

Get started with your airfryer

We've listed a few tips for you for the best cooking quality. We'll go through the following tips with you:

  • Tip 1: don't fill the basket to the top
  • Tip 2: keep the cooking programs in mind
  • Tip 3: preheat the airfryer
  • Tip 4: use a double drawer or an accessory

Tip 1: don't fill the basket to the top

The load capacity indicates how many grams of fries fit in an airfryer. For the best cooking performance, it's important to not fill the basket with food to the top. If you leave some space, the food will heat up and cook correctly. The effective load capacity indicates how many grams of fries can go into the airfryer at most to still make them crispy.

Tip 2: keep cooking programs in mind

Airfryer with baking programs

Many airfryers have automatic cooking programs. This way, you'll have the right time and temperature for certain dishes at the push of a button. These programs are made for an airfryer that's not filled completely. It affect the cooking quality if you fill the basket more than recommended. If you fill the basked more, there's a chance the food is undercooked. You have to keep in mind that it'll take longer to cook.

Tip 3: preheat the airfryer

You have to preheat most airfryers when they're empty before you start cooking. It differs per brand. For example, you don't have to preheat the Philips airfryer XXL. Preheating also affects the cooking time and quality. When you cook food without preheating the airfryer, there's a chance the food doesn't heat up and cook correctly. This makes the cooking time longer in the end. Check if you need to preheat your airfryer.

Tip 4: use a double drawer or an accessory

Do you have an airfryer with 2 drawers?Easily make 2 dishes at the same time without filling your airfryer. Or you can prepare a double portion of fries without it affecting the cooking result. In addition, there are accessories available for some airfryers. With the frying rack, you can create an extra level in the airfryer. This allows you to cook potatoes at the bottom of the basket and meat on the frying rack. This way, you make sure the food isn't too close to each other and that it cooks properly.
