Let’s go over a few of my air frying tips and tricks first.
How does baking in an air fryer work?
Baking in the air fryer is done easily when you know what you’re doing. We’ve already made the mistakes so that you don’t have to. Air Fryers cook foods by using a heating element and a fan, and that circulating of heat and hot air is what helps cook the food and crisp it. Air Fryers can cook with heat as high as 400° Fahrenheit/200° Celcius. Some air fryers may even cook to higher temps. TIP#1: You don’t have to use the BAKE feature if your Air Fryer even has it (some manufacturers do, and some do not.) I always use the same Air Fryer button function whether I am making a cheesecake or making french fries
How do I Make Desserts in the Air Fryer?
When I am making items such as Air Fryer Oreos or using cookie dough to make cookies, I typically like my air fryer basket with parchment paper. Lining the basket with parchment paper keeps the clean up easy and also keeps cookie dough or crescent dough from dropping through the grates of the basket. TIP#2: Make cleaning up the air fryer basket easy by using parchment paper when making desserts such as cookies.
Do I need to Preheat the Air Fryer when Baking?
Some air fryers require you to preheat before you can cook, but when I am baking in the air fryer, I never preheat it. For instance, if I place cookie dough into the preheated air fryer and I am not using parchment paper, the dough is going to seep through the grates in the hot basket before it starts cooking. I always start off without a preheat when I am making cookies, cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, or breads. TIP#3: You don’t need to preheat the Air Fryer when baking. Now that I have shared my favorite tips, let’s start talking about delicious dessert!
