Notes
- Variable Cooking Time. The thickness, size, ingredients, and what air fryer model you have may influence the time it takes to cook your burgers. Note that you may need to adjust the cooking time and temperature. I suggest cooking a test patty and from there adjusting the time and temperature to suit your needs. Mine were tested in an Instant Vortex Plus.
- Don't Crowd Your Burgers. Make sure the burgers don't overlap and that they have enough space to cook without touching. This ensures that the heat can circulate and the patties cook through evenly.
- Air Fryer Settings. No matter what settings your air fryer has, the only two things that really matter are time and temperature. You can disregard the different pre-settings such as air frying, grilling, roasting, or baking, and simply set the cooking time and temperature for your desired doneness.
- Small Burgers. You can shape smaller patties to serve on dinner rolls instead of burger buns. Just note that you will likely need to shorten the cooking time for small patties.
