Looking for some tips on using your air fryer? Preheat it before cooking – this helps your food cook more evenly and faster. When cooking meatballs, make sure they’re in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Avoid using cooking sprays like Pam, as they can damage the air fryer. Instead, invest in a good quality oil mister for greasing.
