Need I say more?<\/li>\n<li>Never preheat the air fryer with parchment paper inside. It will blow up into the heating element and start to burn. When you do, use parchment paper (I like to use it when cooking extra messy foods). Just be sure the food holds the parchment paper down so it doesn\u2019t fly up into the burner. You can also set a small wire rack on top of the food (see <a href=\"http:\/\/airfryertools.com\">AirFryerTools.com<\/a> for links to items like this).<\/li>\n<li>Line underneath the air fryer basket with foil for quick and easy cleanup.<\/li>\n<li>To save time, parboil root vegetables before cooking them in the air fryer. Then, use the air fryer to finish roasting the vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Get creative with the seasonings of your proteins. Wet marinades and dry rubs work great in the air fryer!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_15858\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Air-Fryer-Zucchini-Boats-600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15858\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15858\" src=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Air-Fryer-Zucchini-Boats-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Air-Fryer-Zucchini-Boats-600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Air-Fryer-Zucchini-Boats-600-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15858\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zucchini Boats<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<h3><strong>\nWHILE YOU ARE AIR FRYING <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Start small. Start testing out your air fryer by cooking less expensive foods. If you mess up a batch, you don\u2019t break the bank! A few of my favorite foods to start with are frozen hamburger patties, chicken wings, and frozen broccoli.<\/li>\n<li>Open the air fryer. The air fryer is small and compact, making checking your food\u2019s progress much easier. Open your air fryer, check on your food, and adjust as needed. Most air fryers will pause when you open them. If not, look for a pause button.<\/li>\n<li>Use an instant-read food thermometer. Sometimes, looking at your food and knowing whether it is done will be enough. However, for most foods, you will need to use an instant-read food thermometer to gauge whether your food has finished cooking or not.<\/li>\n<li>Never set your air fryer on the stove. If your stove accidentally gets turned and your air fryer is also on your stove, not only is your air fryer toast but so is your stove! Just don\u2019t do it!<\/li>\n<li>Use a reusable oil sprayer. Most commercial oil sprays you buy at the store contain propellants and chemicals that will ruin your basket. Instead, use a spray bottle and fill it with your own healthy oil with a high smoke point. In the long run, it saves money! I always use avocado oil.<\/li>\n<li>Use water or bread to keep the air fryer from smoking. If you\u2019re cooking fatty foods such as bacon or sausage in the air fryer, put either a \u00bc cup of water or a slice of bread in the base to absorb grease.<\/li>\n<li>Use a wire rack to keep foods from flying around in the air fryer basket (see AirFryerTools. com).<\/li>\n<li>Let cheese melt in a hot air fryer. A viewer of mine shared this great tip for adding melted cheese to a burger: when the burger is done cooking, add the cheese, then close the air fryer door. Let it sit for about a minute, and not only does it melt perfectly, but it never slides off, either!<\/li>\n<li>Make a foil sling for foods that are hard to take out of the air fryer basket. Just make sure you leave room along the sides for airflow! Simply make a large rectangle with handles that you set delicate foods on. That way, you can lift the foil (and the food) out of the air fryer easily.<\/li>\n<li>Reheat leftovers in the air fryer. Revive leftovers such as fries, pizza, breaded foods, tortilla chips, steak, and chicken. For best results, let the food sit out, covered, for 15ish minutes. Then, preheat the air fryer at 400\u00b0F\/200\u00b0C for 5 minutes. Next, place the food inside and air fry at 370\u00b0F\/185\u00b0C in 3-minute increments. Rotate and cook longer as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_15859\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sweet-Potato-Fries-600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15859\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15859\" src=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sweet-Potato-Fries-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sweet-Potato-Fries-600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sweet-Potato-Fries-600-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15859\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sweet potato fries<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>AFTER USING YOUR AIR FRYER <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Clean your air fryer after each meal. Wipe down the top and bottom and clean the basket. Never use abrasives to clean your air fryer, as this will wear down the basket quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Use Dawn Powerwash to clean the air fryer basket. Once the air fryer has cooled and you\u2019ve wiped out the majority of grease and food chunks, spray the basket with Dawn Powerwash, don\u2019t add water, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Wipe it out, then wash it with hot water.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe down the cooled heating element with a damp paper towel. This will help prevent build-up of food splatters and grease.<\/li>\n<li>Use the air fryer to dry the air fryer basket. Place the wet basket into the air fryer and run it for a few minutes to dry it. Then, let the air fryer cool completely before putting it away.<\/li>\n<li>Contact your air fryer manufacturer before buying a new one. If you feel your air fryer basket has reached the point of no return, rather than buying a whole new unit, see if your manufacturer sells just the basket replacement!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><a
