Rant: My air fryer basket was lying to me about 'crispy'
I kept doing 380 for 12 minutes on frozen fries and getting floppy sad sticks, then one random Tuesday I bumped it to 400 for 15 and everything changed in one go. The difference was the rack position, not the time, I had it too low the whole six months. Anyone else find their manual's temp guide is just wrong for their specific model?
Oh yeah, I've totally been there with the same exact frustration. My manual said 370 for everything but that thing is clearly a liar, once I just started ignoring it and bumping everything up 20 degrees and moving the basket higher, it was like a whole new machine. Take the times as a starting point and trust your eyes over the book, every model runs hot or cold in its own way.
