About this deal
Nicole Papantoniou, the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab Director, says home cooks should take special care to minimize risks when using air fryers. "Never leave your air fryer unattended during cooking, always unplug it when it's not in use, and keep it away from other appliances as well as other delicate surfaces in your kitchen, including walls," she advises.
Instead, I went right in with a batch of potato wedges. I probably shouldn't have skipped the test run, because the machine emitted a bit of smoke the first time I used it, which was slightly concerning. Fortunately, the user manual says it is normal for the air fryer to produce some white smoke when you use it for the first time. This can also happen if you're cooking greasy foods or if the baskets haven't been cleaned properly, which is also possible when cooking in an oven. Disregarding Cooking Times and Temperatures: Follow recommended cooking times and temperatures based on your recipes. Adjust as necessary according to your air fryer's performance.
Cut to Size: Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the air fryer basket or tray. Make sure it's not larger than the basket to avoid interference with the air circulation.
Use with Caution: If you choose to use aluminum foil, use it sparingly and only for specific purposes, such as creating a barrier to prevent certain foods from getting too browned. No, there is currently no option to change the volume of the air fryer. I like to hold down the button I need and it only beeps once until I get to the time or temperature I need.

Space and Placement: Arrange your baked goods in a single layer to allow for proper air circulation. Avoid overcrowding the basket or tray, as this can lead to uneven baking. Shaking or Flipping: Depending on the recipe, you may need to shake the basket or flip the food halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning.
