Stoneware: If it fits in your air fryer basket and is oven safe, it’s most likely to work well in your kitchen gadget. I used mini cocottes to make my baked oats recipes. I used the white ones for the classic baked oats recipe and the red for the chocolate baked oats recipe. Ramekins can also be used. Preheating: My air fryer doesn’t require preheating however I recommend preheating your oven style air fryer if you intend to bake with it because it has a larger space to heat up than the basket style. You can preheat your basket style air fryer as well if you choose. To bake cakes effectively in an air fryer, you need to reduce the time so it cooks on low heat. This will help heat gradually get from the top to the bottom. Grease and line with parchment paper (just in case you are wondering if you can put parchment paper in the air fryer, you can and this guide will show you how to do so safely.

Pizza pans: Air fryers have a pizza pan accessories that can be bought. I have these mini pizza pans for regular pizza. I would love these mini dip dish set for deep dish pizza. Those are 7 inch individual pizza pans and are perfect for air fryer baking. If yo’d like a slightly wider crisper pan for your air fryer pizza this instant pot vortex crisper pan should work. Subsequent batches: Even if you choose not to preheat your air fryer, keep an eye on subsequent batches. Those would cook faster because the gadget got preheated during the previous batch. Air fryers are like mini convection ovens. They work by circulating hot air in the compartment and this helps food cook faster. Cakes Method 1: Let the cake cook for till you notice the top is browning usually about 15 to 20 mins then cover the top with foil and continue to cook for another 15 mins or until cake is fully cooked. Method 2 below may take longer but it also works. Can it be repaired independently? If the warranty on your appliance has expired, find out whether any independent appliance repairs services will fix it for you. Research recommended and trusted traders in your area, and they may be able to come out and take a look for you.They also tend to bake at a slower rate than the basket type ovens because of the surface area they need to cover to heat up the space. Air fryer baking Recipes The depth of the air fryer: Choose a pan that isn’t too deep or tall so that it’s not hitting the top of the air fryer and touching the heating element.

Baking pans: I recommend sizes 6, 7, 8 inches when choosing pans. Those are most likely to fit in your air fryer basket. If you have the oven type air fryers, then you might be able to get away with slightly bigger pans. You can use silicon, aluminum or foil cake pans. Cupcake molds: Except you have the cupcake molds that come in air fryer accessories kit, Standard cupcake pans won’t fit in the air fryer basket, there is a walk around to that. I have a 6 cavity silicon cupcake mold which I cut into ⅔rds to make my own cupcake mold. Alternatively buy some individual silicon cupcakes liners like the ones I used for my chocolate banana bread muffin and banana bread muffins.A few more things to consider, air fryers cook differently and the drawer type tends to cook faster than the oven style. You can consider making them into cupcakes too. Hope this helps you. Feel free to reach out again if you have more questions.
