Not only are air fryers cheaper to run than conventional ovens, they also allow us to get crispy and crunchy results with less oil, effort and time.

It’s no wonder everyone and their mum swears by them. But it seems we’re all looking for new ways to get the best of the countertop cooking appliances.

According to research by Raffolux, searches for air fryer hacks have spiked 305% since last summer, and are now at their highest since they first peaked in 2019.

TikTok has become one of the best sources for these top tips, with videos under the airfryerhacks hashtag racking up a whopping 424.2 million views and those tagged with airfryertips at 67.3 million.

To save you scrolling through the never-ending content available, we’ve narrowed things down to the most popular recommendations.

These are the top hacks that air fryer fanatics on TikTok are loving, and which you can give a go at home.

Keep it clean the easy way

@smartler Cleaning the air fryer was too long 😪 #fyp #foryou #viral #trending #tiktokmademebuyit #lifehack #airfryer #amazonfinds ♬ well this is gonna be my personality – Ted Nivison

Although it’s less of a ‘hack’ and more a product recommendation, the most-watched air fryer tip is this one advising users to give silicone liners a go.

Smartler’s tip to cover the metal gauze in your fryer with a silicone tray has been liked more than 3.9 million times, so home chefs are obviously on the hunt for simple clean-up solutions.

After each meal, swill out the tray with hot water and washing up liquid before wiping clean, ready to use next time. If you prefer, you can also use baking or parchment paper, but this is less environmentally-friendly.

Upgrade your garlic bread

@thisisplanetfood Replying to @✈️💥🏢🏢 Garlic Bread Bagel Bites! 🧄🥯 #PlanetFood #foodtok #ukfood #easyrecipes #airfryerrecipes #bagelbites #airfryerhack #garlicbread #chef 🥯 Slice 2 bagels into ‘chips’ 🧄 Add your chopped bagels to a bowl with 2 tsp each garlic granules and parsley, 1 tsp oregano and 75g parmesan 🥯 Drizzle with olive oil – or even better, garlic oil – and toss together to coat 🧄 Air-fry at 170C for 5 mins until crispy (you may need to do in batches depending on the size of your air-fryer) 🥯 We served ours with a delicious garlic dip! ♬ Sure Thing (sped up) – Miguel

Garlic bread definitely tops the list as one of Brits’ most beloved foods, and now thanks to this Tiktok with 1.2 million views, it’s never been a more viable option in the air fryer.

All you need to do is slice up one bagel into bitesize pieces, add to a bowl with olive oil, parmesan, and herbs like oregano and parsley, then air fry at 180C for eight minutes. A tasty garlic mayo to dip is optional, but very much recommended. 

Make pepperoni ‘crisps’

@thisisplanetfood Replying to @Juicy lucy ❤️🧃 We had the same thought! 💭✨ #PlanetFood #FoodTok #UKFood #SalamiCrisps #HighProtein #ProteinSnack #HighProteinMeals #AirFryer #AirFryerHack #CookingHacks #Salami #SnackHacks #EasyRecipes ♬ Hey, Mickey! – Baby Tate

Whether you’re following a keto diet or just prefer your snacks on the meaty side, you’ll want to try these pepperoni ‘crisps’.

Planet Food, in a clip that’s been liked over 363,000 times, shows us how it’s done: layer pepperoni over the bottom of the air fryer tray in a circular pattern, cook at 200C for three minutes, then leave on some kitchen roll to crisp up.

For those wanting a fancy version, add mozzarella and basil on the top part-way through cooking. 

Take the hassle out of cleaning

@tracesoats You gotta save this 🤯 Also, you could j add tin foil to prevent the gunk #lifehack #airfry ♬ original sound – Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

One of the biggest searched trends in the air fryer category is #airfryercleaning at 9.1 million views. According to Trace Alexander’s Tiktok with 535.3k likes, when it comes to the ‘deep clean’, you can fully remove built-up grime in minutes.

Take out the tray and fill it with hot soapy water, then air fry at 175C for five minutes to let the heat work its magic. All that gunk should easily wipe off after that.

Whip up a ‘half English’ breakfast

King’s Speech: Rishi Sunak missed his chance for a reset Sky News says Rishi Sunak is a prime minister who likes to talk about long-term decision-making and being a leader prepared to take “tough choices” to change the UK. On Tuesday, we heard it all again in the opening sentences of the first King’s Speech in more than 70 years: “My government’s priority is to make difficult but necessary long-term decisions to change this country for the better.” But the truth is there is no such thing as the long-term for a prime minister facing an election, perhaps just a…

Rishi Sunak’s first King’s Speech labelled a ‘damp squib’ by Tory MPs The Independent says Rishi Sunak used his first – and possibly only – King’s Speech to outline plans for tougher jail sentences and to ease the environmental “burden” on households, as part of a last-ditch effort to reverse his party’s fortunes. The speech confirmed plans to see murderers spend life behind bars and for criminals to attend court for sentencing, while also outlining proposals to extend the use of controversial lie detectors by probation officers, a promised smoking ban and a potential new tax on vapes. But there…
