How to Make Air Fryer Hamburgers
When it comes to air frying, burgers aren't likely the first to come to mind. While it may seem like a stretch, I can tell you firsthand that it's a fabulous option for busy day meals. I'd be the first to say that grilling is my gold standard when it comes to hamburgers and cheeseburgers. However, some days the air fryer comes to the rescue and cooks perfectly juicy burgers while you put together the toppings of choice. That's a dinner win, in my book.
Helpful Tips for Making Hamburgers in an Air Fryer
Air fryers are a handy kitchen gadget with a myriad of uses. In this instance, I wanted to mention just a few tips for your burger making success.
- To keep the burgers juicy, it's best to use an 80/20 or 85/15 fat to meat ratio ground beef.
- The seasonings in the burgers can be adapted to suit your taste. You could replace salt with seasoned salt, or season them with salt and pepper alone. It won't make a difference to the cooking time.
- Everyone likes their burgers cooked differently. We tend to like ours medium-well to well done and the cooking time in the recipe reflects that. For medium or medium rare, simply reduce the cooking time according to how your appliance performs.
- Air fryers, much like slow cookers can perform differently. Know your appliance, and you'll make perfect burgers every time.
- Set up a toppings bar including lettuce, onion, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, jalapenos, mushrooms or whatever your family enjoys. After all it's your party.
