FAQS
Can you put foil in Sur La Table air fryer?
Yes, you can use aluminum foil in an air fryer, as long as you use it safely, and avoid covering critical components of your machine that could cause uneven cooking and even damage. Be sure to use a small amount to cover the bottom of your basket, or wrap your food with it.
Which is the best Multi Function air fryer?
The Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven impressed is the best multifunctional appliance we tested. This is our top choice for a multipurpose appliance that not only air fries but has all the versatility that comes with a toaster oven.
Can you use foil in an air fryer?

Can I use my air fryer for baking?
Yes. You can bake cakes, cookies and other desserts in your air fryer. However, you should not use the air fryer for baking cakes or other desserts that require a water bath. Instead, you can use the air fryer to bake cakes on a wire rack. If you’re baking cookies, you can place them on a wire rack in the air fryer.
Can I use my air fryer to make popcorn?
Yes, but only if your air fryer has a dedicated popcorn button. If your air fryer doesn’t have a dedicated popcorn button, then you should not attempt to make popcorn in it. Instead, you should purchase an air popper that is specially designed for making popcorn.
Can I use my air fryer to cook pizza?
Yes, but only if your air fryer has a dedicated pizza button and/or a separate timer setting that allows you to set the cooking time independently from the temperature setting. If your air fryer doesn’t have these features, then you should not attempt to cook pizza in it. Instead, you should purchase an electric pizza oven that is specially designed for cooking pizza and/or an electric microwave oven that is specially designed for cooking pizza slices and/or individual pizzas (i.e., personal pizzas).
Can I use my air fryer to deep-fry foods?
No. The purpose of an air fryer is to cook food using hot air instead of oil or fat. Therefore, it is not suitable for deep-frying foods. You should instead purchase an electric deep-fryer that is specially designed for deep-frying foods. Q: Can I use my air fryer to cook frozen foods?
Can you put raw meat in Airfryer?
Though you likely feel comfortable cooking pre-cooked meats that just need to be heated in an air fryer, it’s always a good idea to double-check safety guidelines for cooking raw meat. According to Kitchen Snitches, the good news is that it is absolutely safe to cook raw meat in an air fryer.
Can you reheat a hamburger in an air fryer?
A popular option for reheating food is a good air fryer. An air fryer is a great way to reheat your burger patty. Preheat the air fryer to about 350˚F to 400°F. Place the burger in the basket, and fry for about 2 to 4 minutes.
Can you reheat a baked potato in the air fryer?
To do so, heat your air fryer at 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, pop a potato inside, and cook until it’s heated through, about three to four minutes. As pointed out by Taste of Home, the only downside to this method is that an air fryer can only hold so many potatoes, so you might have to work in batches.
Can you warm up pizza in the air fryer?
Air fry the pizza at about 350˚ and start by heating for three minutes before checking on the progress. Thin slices of pizza will reheat faster than doughier slices (like, say, a deep-dish pizza). If you think the crust could be crispier, air fry for another minute before checking again.
Do you need oil for an air fryer?
Yes, even air fryers need a little oil!
