Frequently asked questions

Do I need oil in the air fryer?

A little: 1 tsp olive oil on veg or potatoes is usually enough to make them crisp and stop them drying out.

Can I make oven recipes in the air fryer?

Usually, yes: set it about 20 °C lower and allow about a quarter less time. Don’t pack the basket too full, so the hot air can reach everything.

How do I stop air fryer chips going too dark?

Cook potatoes and veg to golden rather than dark brown, and no hotter than 180 °C – that way less acrylamide forms. There’s more on this in our air fryer guide.
