A quick air fryer tip is to keep in mind the size of your basket. If you have a bigger family I would recommend buying the biggest basket you can find or consider getting an air fryer oven.
Air frying is great because you get crispy and crunchy food without the added fat, but a key to air fryer cooking is not overcrowding food so that air can fully circulate.
Air Fryer Cooking Tips
An air fryer is like a small convection oven. Air fryers cook food by a mechanical fan that circulates the hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy outer layer.
You’ll find that works especially well in this recipe where the panko coating on the fish is crunchy and crispy without added fat from frying.
