Utensils That I Can Use To Flip Food In An Air Fryer

As you should know inside your air fryer is coated in nonstick. Which means you will not be able to use anything metal to flip your food. The reason for this is that the metal utensil that you use can scratch the nonstick in the air fryer. It would be best to use something like a plastic utensil.

Once that’s done then you already know that you no longer have a nonstick basket. The best thing that you must do is to spray your cooking in the basket on your food as well. The problem with that is cleaning may take longer than usual does.
