Metal is fine, wood needs a twenty minute soak. Why dry exposed wood scorches in a convection basket.

Oil yes, aerosol no. Why Pam-style sprays leave a sticky film that ruins the coating, and what to use instead.

Yes, straight from frozen, and it beats thawing. Times, temperatures, and the one mistake that makes everything soggy.

No. Batter drips through before it sets, leaving bare food and burnt drips. The breading method that actually works instead.

No. The fan lifts it, and paper ignites at around 450F. The most common cause of air fryer fires, and what to use instead.
