Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip for Even Crisping

Turning halfway ensures both sides get crispy and evenly browned.

Toast the Bun Separately

Toast burger buns in the air fryer for 1–2 minutes after patties are done.

Add Cheese Near the End

Place cheese on patties during the last minute to melt it perfectly.

Keep an Eye on Time

Overcooking can dry them out—check at 8 minutes and adjust as needed.
