9 Foods Not Meant for Your Air Fryer

The article discusses nine foods that are not recommended for air frying. It cautions against using the air fryer for the following items: 1. Wet batter-coated foods: The air fryer's hot air will cause the batter to drip off, resulting in a messy and unappetizing outcome. 2. Whole roasts or chickens: The small size of the air fryer basket makes it unsuitable for cooking large cuts of meat, which may not cook evenly. 3. Delicate greens: Leafy greens like lettuce can become dry and wilted when exposed to the intense heat of the air fryer. 4. Cheese: Cheese can melt and drip, potentially causing a fire hazard in the appliance. 5. Hamburgers: The high heat of the air fryer can cause the outside of the burger to overcook while the inside remains undercooked. 6. Fried eggs: The air fryer's hot air will cause the eggs to become rubbery and unappealing. 7. Rice: The air fryer's dry heat is not suitable for cooking moist foods like rice, which may turn out dry and crunchy. 8. Oversized meals: Overcrowding the air fryer basket can lead to uneven cooking and potentially dangerous situations. 9. Anything with a wet batter: The air fryer's hot air will cause the batter to drip off, resulting in a messy and unappetizing outcome.
