How to adjust the temperature and time settings of the Household Air Fryer according to the recipe?

In modern kitchens, the Household Air Fryer has been loved by more and more families for its healthy and convenient cooking method. However, different recipes require different temperature and time settings to make delicious food. So, how to adjust the temperature and time settings of the Household Air Fryer according to the recipe?
First, understanding the characteristics of the ingredients is the key. Different ingredients have different cooking requirements. For example, meat usually requires higher temperatures and longer times to ensure that it is cooked through; while vegetables require lower temperatures and shorter times to maintain their tender taste. Before adjusting the temperature and time settings, read the recipe carefully to understand the type, size, and thickness of the ingredients so that you can determine the appropriate cooking parameters.
Secondly, it is also important to refer to the instruction manual of the air fryer. Different brands and models of air fryers may have different performance characteristics. The instruction manual usually provides some cooking suggestions for common ingredients, including temperature and time settings. You can use these suggestions as a reference and make adjustments in combination with the requirements of the recipe.
If there are no clear temperature and time settings in the recipe, you can start with a lower temperature and a shorter time. For example, you can first set the air fryer to a lower temperature, such as 160℃, and then gradually increase the temperature and time according to the cooking conditions of the ingredients. During the cooking process, open the air fryer frequently to check the color and doneness of the ingredients. If the color of the ingredients is too dark or they are already cooked, you can end the cooking early; if the ingredients are not yet cooked, you can increase the cooking time appropriately.
In addition, you can also adjust it according to your personal taste and preferences. Some people like their food to be crispier, so they can increase the temperature and extend the time appropriately; while some people like their food to be more tender, so they can lower the temperature and shorten the time. When adjusting the temperature and time settings, you can try several times to find the cooking parameters that best suit your taste.
When adjusting the temperature and time settings, you also need to pay attention to the following points. First, do not set the temperature too high to avoid burning the food or producing harmful substances. Second, adjust the temperature and time evenly according to the size and thickness of the ingredients to avoid the situation where some ingredients are cooked and some are not. Finally, clean the air fryer regularly to keep it in good working condition to ensure the cooking effect.
