2. Reasons and solutions for unevenly cooked food
Unevenly cooked food has numerous causes. Accordingly, the solutions vary depending on each cause.
Inaccurate temperature and cooking time adjustments
Many people adjust temperature and cooking time based on cooking habits. However, it's important to note that not all types of food require the same time and temperature.
Remedies
You need to adjust the temperature and time for each dish accordingly. Refer to the instructions in the manufacturer's guidebook.
Overloading the air fryer basket
Avoid putting too much food in the air fryer basket to prevent overloading. Adding excessive amounts of food will result in unevenly cooked dishes, affecting the flavor of the product.
Solution
Adjust the amount of food appropriately, remove some if necessary. If there's too much food, you can split it into two batches and then put them into the air fryer.
Uneven shaking or shifting of food
Take care when preparing foods like whole large fish or thick slices of meat, ensuring to flip them to ensure both sides cook evenly.
Remedies
You can select the pause button on the touch control panel of the air fryer or adjust the temperature to the lowest setting, then take the food out, flip it, and continue cooking in the air fryer.
Potatoes not evenly golden-brown
Incorrectly prepared potatoes may be the cause. The crispiness of potatoes depends on the amount of oil and internal moisture. Drain the water before placing them in the fryer.
It could also be due to selecting the wrong type of potato, choosing waxy instead of starchy, affecting the frying process.
Remedies
The remedy is extremely simple. Just soak potato slices in water for 30 minutes then pat them dry with paper towels. Potatoes must be dry before frying, then add cooking oil.
Note to slice potatoes thinly, about 0.5 cm thick for crispier fries.
