Uneven cooking
Uneven cooking often occurs due to overcrowding. Spread your food evenly in the basket, leaving some space for proper air circulation. If the problem persists, consider flipping or stirring the ingredients mid-cook.

Smoke and odour
If your air fryer is producing excessive smoke or odour, it's likely due to excess grease. Clean the air fryer basket, tray, and pan regularly to prevent buildup. You can also try cooking with a splash of water in the drip tray to reduce smoke.

Food overcooking
Prevent overcooking by checking your food a few minutes before the recommended time. Adjust the temperature or cooking time accordingly. Using a meat thermometer can also help ensure your proteins are perfectly cooked.
