🔬 Why Air Fryers Help Reheat Food
Circulating hot air helps reduce the surface moisture that builds up in the fridge and restores some crispiness in just a few minutes, especially for pizza, fried food, bread and breaded dishes.
3 Golden Rules for Reheating:
- ✔ Adjust the temperature to the food: for many leftovers, start at a moderate temperature and increase it only if you need more crispiness. Check that the food is hot all the way through and adjust the time to the amount and thickness.
- ✔ Do not block the airflow: avoid full sheets of parchment paper or foil covering the entire base. If you use foil to cover food, secure it properly and never leave it loose during preheating.
- ✔ Add a little moisture: if bread or pizza is dry, spray a small amount of water on the surface before reheating.
