Doneness tips
How to get it right
- Preheating is optional for this food.
- No extra oil is needed.
- Arrange in a single layer so hot air can circulate.
- Start checking before the maximum time and finish in short increments.
Troubleshooting
If something goes wrong
- Crowding the basket so hot air cannot move around the food.
- Skipping the early check and letting small pieces overcook.
- Using too much oil, which can make the outside heavy instead of crisp.
Frozen pizza size and crust
Small personal pizzas fit most baskets and brown quickly. Larger slices or thick crust pizzas may need a lower temperature so the cheese melts before the crust over-browns.
For a crisper bottom, preheat the air fryer and place the pizza in a single layer without overlapping slices.
