Safety Precautions
1. Read The Air Fryer Manual
It’s tempting to want to grab your air fryer out of the box and start cooking right away. However it’s super important to read the instruction manual and the safety information. This is true with any appliance.
2. Unplug Your Air Fryer
When you’re not using your air fryer, make sure to unplug it. Touch screens are so simple to use, so it would be really easy to accidentally hit a button and turn your air fryer on. Experts also recommend that all appliances be unplugged when not in use to prevent fires at the wall outlets.
3. Remember It Gets Really Hot
The beauty of air fryers is that you can make yummy fried foods without using grease, AND you can cook food super quickly. To accomplish this, the components of the appliance have to get super hot. Make sure to use good pot holders or oven mitts when pulling out the basket. Don’t forget to put something on your counter or table to keep it from burning also. These heat-safe boards work great!
4. Use Only Approved Air Fryer Accessories
There are lots of fun different ways to use your air fryer, and hundreds of different recipes. Some recipes will require accessories that go with your air fryer to help your food cook. Make sure to use accessories that are approved for air fryer use. Our article The Best Air Fryer Accessories and What To Do With Them is a great resource!
5. Give It Some Space
Set your air fryer in the middle of a counter or table with plenty of space around it. This will keep the air flowing smoothly, and prevent anything from melting around your fryer.
6. Set A Timer
Overcooked food not only tastes bad, but it can be dangerous if it gets too hot and catches on fire. Most air fryers come with timers, but you could also use a kitchen timer, or set an alarm on your watch or phone.
