Can you cook frozen salmon in an air fryer?

An arrow pointing downwards tempting the user to click and show the answer to the FAQ

Yes, frozen salmon works great in an air fryer. Just pop it in straight from the freezer and cook for a few extra minutes than you would fresh. It crisps up nicely once the surface defrosts and is ideal for quick meals without the fuss.

How do you get crispy food in an air fryer without using oil?

An arrow pointing downwards tempting the user to click and show the answer to the FAQ

To get that crispy finish, use dry seasonings and try dusting your food in cornflour or breadcrumbs. Preheat the air fryer, don’t overcrowd the basket, and shake the food halfway through cooking.

Can you cook different foods together in one air fryer basket?

An arrow pointing downwards tempting the user to click and show the answer to the FAQ

You can, as long as the foods have similar cook times. If one needs longer, just add it in first and layer the quicker item later. A rack insert can also help keep flavours and textures separate.

What should you avoid putting in an air fryer?

An arrow pointing downwards tempting the user to click and show the answer to the FAQ

Skip anything with wet batter: like tempura or homemade onion rings as it won’t set properly. Light salad leaves can fly around unless weighted, and large roasts can block airflow and cook unevenly.
