Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcook

Overcooking can cause excessive cheese leakage. Remove promptly once heated and browned.

Roll or Flip Midway

Ensures even color and crisping around the entire hot dog.

Serve Immediately

Cheese-filled franks are best hot from the air fryer—serve right away for gooey centers.

Avoid Piercing the Franks

Keep whole for best results—slicing may cause the cheese to spill out early.
