  • tip 1
    Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.

  • tip 4
    When lining the air fryer basket with foil, be sure the foil goes up the sides of the basket but not over the basket edge.
