10 Costly Mistakes to Avoid When Using Your Air Fryer

Why it’s a mistake:
Leftover grease and crumbs can burn, smell, or even damage the machine.

Fix it:
Clean the basket, tray, and inner chamber after each use with warm soapy water or a non-abrasive sponge.

5. Cooking Wet-Battered Foods
Why it’s a mistake:
Wet batters drip through the basket and won’t crisp up like in a deep fryer.

Fix it:
Use dry coatings or breaded versions instead (like panko or seasoned flour mixtures).

6. Ignoring the Shake or Flip
Why it’s a mistake:
Without shaking or flipping, one side may end up overcooked or soggy.

Fix it:
Shake the basket or turn food halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

7. Using Aerosol Cooking Sprays
Why it’s a mistake:
Store-bought aerosol sprays can damage the air fryer’s non-stick coating over time.

Fix it:
Use a refillable oil sprayer or brush oil on instead.
