🍟 The Air Fryer Golden Rule
When converting standard oven recipes to an air fryer: reduce cooking temperature by 25°F to 30°F (e.g. 400°F oven -> 375°F air fryer) and reduce total cooking time by 20% to 25%. Always check 3 minutes early!
Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt per 4 quarts of boiling water. This is your only chance to season the inside of the pasta noodles. Never add oil to pasta water (it prevents sauce from clinging).
🍳 Protein Rest Time for Maximum Juiciness
Never cut meat immediately after searing! Rest chicken breasts and steaks for 5 to 8 minutes. Rest whole roasts for 15 to 20 minutes. This allows the hot muscle fibers to relax and reabsorb juices throughout.
🧈 Room Temperature Eggs & Butter Rule
Cold eggs cause melted butter or creamed mixtures to seize and curdle. Quick trick: place cold eggs in a bowl of warm tap water for 5 minutes before baking to instantly bring them to room temperature.
