Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip for Even Crispness

Turning the patty halfway ensures both sides get equally crispy.

Don’t Overcook

Stick to 8–10 minutes—any longer and they may dry out.

Toast the Bun Separately

Want a toasted sandwich bun? Pop it in the air fryer for 1–2 minutes after the patty is done.

Add Cheese at the End

Add a slice of cheese during the final 1 minute of cooking to let it melt perfectly.
