Greasing a cake pan for air fryer baking isn’t any different from baking in a conventional oven. There are 3 ways to do this. Using an air fryer oven is very similar to baking in a traditional convection oven or the conventional oven. Most oven style air fryers are big enough to fit bigger sized baking pans and dishes. Method 1: Let the cake cook for till you notice the top is browning usually about 15 to 20 mins then cover the top with foil and continue to cook for another 15 mins or until cake is fully cooked. Method 2 below may take longer but it also works. Baked goods tend to bake a little faster in the air fryer because of it’s compact space and concentrated heat circulation. Donut molds: I bought regular silicon donut molds and cut them like I did with the cupcake molds. I also have this donut pan from instant pot.

What can you bake in an air fryer? With accessories, there are many things you can bake in an air fryer. Even cheese cakes can be made in the air fryer. Savory The size of the air fryer: The best size for basket type air fryer are 5 - 8 inch round or square cake pan or these 6 cup bundt pans However that is not to say you can’t use dark coated pans to bake cakes. After all most air fryer baking accessories seem to be dark colored pans. When baking in these, I would recommend keeping a close eye on the cake so it doesn’t over cook. Temperature and Time Mini skillets: My 6 inch cast iron skillet fits nicely in my air fryer and I use it all the time for dips like this air fryer s’mores dip recipe. **If you don’t have a mini skillet, you don’t need to buy one just for your air fryer. Your cake pans will work just as well.This means you can use aluminum pans, stoneware and higher quality heat resistant silicon as well. However, before choosing your cake pans, there are a few things you need to consider. Did you cover the cakes with foil at all while it baked. I usually use two methods when baking in the air fryer Grease and line with parchment paper (just in case you are wondering if you can put parchment paper in the air fryer, you can and this guide will show you how to do so safely. To bake cakes effectively in an air fryer, you need to reduce the time so it cooks on low heat. This will help heat gradually get from the top to the bottom.

It will last help if the cake pans aren’t more than 3 inches high. If what you have is a 4 inch high cake pan, try not to fill it up more than half way through if you can help it. (This is an exception for bundt cakes) The smaller or no handled dishes, the bigger the bakeware you can fit into the air fryers. For example, if you have a 2 qt baking dish with handles but the handles might keep the dish from fitting in the air fryer interior space. But if you had a larger 2.5 qt dish with NO handles, this just might fit. So you’ll be able to fit a larger capacity baking dish if there’s no handles in the way. Preheating: My air fryer doesn’t require preheating however I recommend preheating your oven style air fryer if you intend to bake with it because it has a larger space to heat up than the basket style. You can preheat your basket style air fryer as well if you choose.

Most air fryers don’t come with accessories, however you can get some online or convert the pans you already use at home as long as it can fit in your basket.
