Craving a juicy, delicious burger but short on time? Look no further than your air fryer! Cooking burgers in an air fryer is a game-changer – quick, easy, and surprisingly flavorful. But the golden question is: how long to cook a burger in an air fryer to achieve that perfect doneness?
The answer depends on a few factors: the thickness of your patty, your desired level of doneness (rare, medium, well-done), and the temperature you set your air fryer to. A general guideline is to cook 1/4-1/2 pound patties at 370°F (188°C).
Here's a cheat sheet:
* **Medium-Rare:** 8-10 minutes
* **Medium:** 10-12 minutes
* **Well-Done:** 12-14 minutes
Remember to flip the burgers halfway through cooking. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level (160°F/71°C for ground beef). Air fryer burgers are a weeknight dinner winner! Enjoy!
