Cooking hamburgers in an air fryer is a convenient and relatively quick method. Here's a general guideline for cooking hamburgers in an air fryer:
1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
2. While the air fryer is preheating, shape your ground beef into burger patties. Season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
3. Once the air fryer is preheated, place the burger patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation.
4. Cook the burgers for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the burger patties and your desired level of doneness.
5. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the burgers reaches at least 160°F (71°C) for safety.
6. Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the specific model and size of your air fryer, as well as the thickness of the burger patties. It's always a good idea to check the burgers periodically while they're cooking to avoid overcooking or undercooking them. Adjust the cooking time as needed to achieve your desired level of doneness.
