How Do I Stop My Air Fryer From Sticking?
Has your air fryer been sticking lately? There are a couple things you can do to help prevent food from sticking in your air fryer. First of all, if you’ve had your air fryer for a while, it’s probably time to give it a good cleaning if you haven’t recently. Most removable parts of an air fryer are dishwasher safe. Check your manual first of course! After everything is nice and clean, if you’re still having sticking issues, try a couple of these tips to keep your airfryer from sticking.
- When cooking food with lots of fat or grease you probably don’t need to grease your air fryer basket.
- When cooking food that doesn’t naturally have a lot of fat, like vegetable, try tossing them in olive oil.
- Avoid using cheap commercial sprays on your air fryer basket. They tend to degrade the coating of the basket because of the additives that are usually included. Instead, when you need to grease your basket wipe on olive oil with a paper towel, or use a sprayer that you can fill with pure oil and use that to lightly mist the basket.
- For delicate foods like fish, make a sling out of aluminum foil. That way you don’t have to try to pick it out of the basket when it’s done.
Can You Reheat Egg Rolls in Air Fryer?
Airfryers are great for reheating foods you want to keep crisp, like egg rolls! While they’re not great for reheating sensitive foods like scrambled eggs, anything you can reheat in an oven you can reheat perfectly in an airfryer. Pop your egg rolls in the air fryer for a couple minutes until they crisp up and are heated through, and you’re all set! It should only take about three minutes.
Can You Pre Make Egg Rolls?
You’re busy, running around after kids and keeping up with everything in your life. Dinner should be easy, and one way to make it easier is to make it ahead of time. Can you make egg rolls ahead of time? Absolutely! There are a few different ways to make egg rolls ahead of time.
- Mix up the filling, cover tightly with plastic, refrigerate for 3-4 days until needed, then spoon into wrappers and bake.
- Mix up the filling, store in a zip close bag in the freezer for 3-4 months, then thaw, spoon into wrappers and bake.
- Make and bake egg rolls, wrap well, refrigerate for 3-4 days, reheat in oven or air fryer.

Air fryer avocado chicken egg rolls were the BEST! My husband & I LOVED them. This will be a go to for us.
Jane says
I am confused with instruction #2 and the Note for baking on 425 for 15-20 min. Are they to be baked twice?
Danielle Green says
I re-worded the instructions to be more clear. As for the note, that is only for people who don’t have an Air Fryer and are making them in the oven.
