Fries in the air fryer

  • Do not overcrowd—air needs to circulate for crisping instead of steaming.
  • Shake the basket halfway through for even color on all sides.
  • For thick-cut wedges, add a couple of minutes and check early to avoid burning tips.

    These pages use the same core math as the home calculator—temperature lowered by about 20 °C in absolute terms and time scaled to 80%—so results stay consistent across chicken, fries, fish, and vegetables. Your appliance, basket size, and food thickness still matter; treat outputs as a smart starting point.
