Yes, you can cook burgers in an air fryer. It's a quick and convenient way to achieve juicy, well-cooked burgers.
Here's a simplified breakdown:
-
Preparation: Lightly brush both sides of your burger patties with oil and season with pepper (or your preferred seasonings).
-
Placement: Place the patties in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; you may need to cook in batches.
-
Cooking: Air fry the patties for approximately 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This will typically result in a medium doneness. Adjust cooking time based on your desired level of doneness and the thickness of your patties.
-
Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers reach a safe internal temperature.
Air frying offers advantages like faster cooking times and reduced fat content compared to traditional pan-frying or grilling methods.
