"Certain marinades don't work well in the air fryer. Sugary marinades should be avoided at the start of cooking because the high heat can cause the sugar to caramelize too quickly, resulting in unwelcome charring."
"The sticky residue from sugary marinades will leave a stubborn mess and could cause the air fryer basket to fill with smoke. It's best to apply marinades after removing the steak from the air fryer."
"Using high smoke point oils like grapeseed or avocado oil is recommended, while low smoke point fats like butter should be avoided at the start of cooking."
Air fryers simplify meal preparation, but caution is needed with expensive meats like steak. Sugary marinades can burn quickly due to high heat, leading to charring and smoke. Recipe developer Claudia Syanny advises against using these marinades at the start of cooking. Instead, apply them halfway through. High smoke point oils like grapeseed or avocado oil are recommended. Reducing sugar or cooking at lower temperatures can also help achieve better results.
