Professional Cooking Tips

Elevate your air fryer cooking with these chef-approved techniques and culinary insights.

Seasoning Mastery

  • Season in layers - before, during, and after cooking for depth of flavor
  • Use dry rubs for crispy exteriors; marinades for tender, flavorful results
  • Finish with fresh herbs and a pinch of sea salt for restaurant-quality taste

Texture Perfection

  • Double-coat breaded items for extra crunchiness: flour, egg, then seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Spray oil halfway through cooking for even browning and golden results
  • Let meats rest 5 minutes after cooking for optimal juiciness

Temperature Control

  • Start at high heat (400°F) for a crispy exterior, then reduce for even cooking
  • Let refrigerated items rest 15 minutes before cooking for even results
  • Use lower temperatures (350°F) for delicate items like seafood and vegetables

Flavor Pairing

  • Combine herbs: rosemary with chicken, dill with fish, sage with pork
  • Add aromatics like garlic and citrus zest for depth of flavor
  • Finish with acids (lemon, vinegar) to brighten flavors

Protein Excellence

  • Brine poultry for 2-4 hours before cooking for maximum juiciness
  • Score fish skin for crispier texture and better seasoning absorption
  • Pat proteins dry and brush with oil for golden-brown crusts

Vegetable Mastery

  • Toss root vegetables in cornstarch for extra crispiness
  • Season vegetables while hot for better flavor absorption
  • Roast dense vegetables at 380°F for caramelization
