Juiciness: Cooking pork (or any meat) too long can cause it to dry out.Always use a reliable meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. This resting period lets the residual heat distribute evenly throughout the chop, finishing the cooking process, and allowing the juices to redistribute, ensuring a flavorful and juicy result. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.Remember, the key is not just reaching 140☏ but also allowing the pork chop to rest for a few minutes after cooking. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands.Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity. As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time.This gives plenty of room to allow air to circulate. For this recipe, I can just fit 4 pork loin steaks in the basket at a time.Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Not all models advise preheating is required.The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal. The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity.I used vegetable oil with a 50/50 mix of garlic salt and paprika.Make sure that salt is included in the mix. Seasoning – Choose any seasoning mix, spices or dried/fresh herbs.For example use garlic, salt and rosemary with olive oil or for a more neutral flavour, sea salt and black pepper with vegetable oil. Oil – Choose your oil to match your flavouring.More Air Fryer RecipesĪll my recipes with instructions for how to cook or bake them in the air fryer can be found in my Air Fryer Recipe Index. If you do prefer to use them, once you have got a feel for how they affect your cooking and baking, you may need to make adjustments to the recipe accordingly. When I do want to collect the juices, I mostly use some foil, or occasionally a foil tray which can be washed and reused. This can stop food from crisping all the way around. I also don’t like how cooking juices are prevented from dripping through the basket rack. These will affect the cooking times and possibly temperatures of your cooking/baking. There are many air fryer liners available including quite thick silicone ones. Mini oven types will generally require some kind of tray like with a regular large oven although most come with crisper racks to use. Basket and rotary type air fryers are designed to be used without liners. Unless otherwise stated, I do not use liners when air frying. I’ve now actually retired by Actifry in favour of having my two basket type fryers. My 2 in 1 version like the one I’ve linked also has a rotating tray for things that could be broken up by a paddle, but the height clearance with the lid isn’t deep enough to use it to cook some items like sausage rolls. They do however make the best chips and roasted veg. Rotary types are not usually good for recipes where the food is breaded, glazed, likely to break up or in a tray/container. This is the type I used for years – the most common is a Tefal Actifry. Round air fryers with a paddle in the centre that rotates to move the food. I’ve since bought this version to use for some recipes where my smaller model was just too small. The unit is no larger than the 3.8 litre model on the outside but does have a larger internal basket capacity. This is the Cosori 4.7L (CAF-L501) with a 4.7 litre basket. I’ve also recommended to several friends and family the model with a slightly larger basket. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal. It isn’t an overly expensive or fancy model. I mostly use a Cosori Lite 3.8L (CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. This is the type that you’ll see in the images in this recipe. Some larger models have two drawers so different items can be cooked at different temperatures or for different times. Food isn’t usually visible whilst cooking. A boxy type unit has a pull out drawer/basket. These are what I would consider to be the most common, especially in the UK. I consider there to be 4 main types: Basket Air Fryers Nope! The term air fryer is now used very broadly.
