While air fryers are great at slashing your effort of pan-searing and baking meat dishes, there are still steps home cooks should take to get the most out of their air-fried meat.

Air fryers offer crispy results without juices, oils, or fats by circulating hot air, so maintaining moisture can get tricky. So, marinate the meat
to add moisture and flavor.
Cutting meat on wooden board
Next, using a meat mallet or asking the butcher for help, cut or pound out thicker cuts of meat to get symmetrical pieces of protein. This helps you ensure even cooking.
Checking temperature of meat
To check the doneness of the meat, check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer to ensure you're not overcooking, especially since air fryers cook so quickly.

Finally, don't eat the meat right away once it hits its optimal temperature. Let it rest for a few minutes so it
can finish absorbing heat and
moisture and become tender.
