How long to cook air fryer fries

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 15:00

Frozen or fresh-cut?

What cut?

How full is the basket?

Air fryers cook by moving hot air. Blocked air means steaming, not crisping.

How to tell without a timer

Salt them in the basket while they are still hot.

A crowded basket steams. Shake it halfway and expect it softer than a single layer — if you want it properly crisp, cook it in two goes rather than giving it longer.

How it goes

  1. Single layer. Shake at the halfway prompt.
  2. Shaken. Second half.
Every combination, as a table

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
