Air fryers offer a healthier way to enjoy crispy meals with less oil, but safety matters. Follow these key tips: Buy from trusted brands and check for certifications like CE marks. Never use the fryer under the influence, and always supervise while it’s on. Avoid baking paper—use air fryer-safe liners instead. Clean after every use to prevent grease fires, and let it cool before storing, especially under cabinets. Keep the surrounding area clear of flammable items. Don’t overfill; overcrowding blocks airflow. Use heat-safe utensils and approved accessories. Preheat when needed for crispier results, and choose high-heat oils like avocado or peanut oil. Avoid overly wet or saucy foods, and check food often to prevent burning. Use racks or pans to improve cooking, and don’t rely solely on timers—know your food’s cook time. Non-stick baskets or liners help with cleanup. Use minimal oil to avoid smoke, keep vents clear for airflow, and limit greasy foods. Store the fryer in a dry place once cooled, and always read the manual for model-specific guidance. Enjoy cooking, but do so safely
