Safety & Quality Tips

Always check internal temperature for safety

Use a food thermometer to ensure meat products reach safe internal temperatures: 75°C for poultry, 70°C for pork, 63°C for beef. This is especially important when converting from package instructions.

Start checking food early

Air fryers cook faster than conventional ovens. Start checking your food 2-3 minutes before the converted time to prevent overcooking.

Adjust for your air fryer model

Different air fryer models may cook at slightly different rates. Use our conversions as a starting point and adjust based on your results.

Don't overcrowd the basket

Package instructions often assume single-layer cooking. Maintain space between items for proper air circulation, even if it means cooking in batches.
