What’s the Best Way to Heat Up Ham in an Air Fryer?
Preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 325°F. Heat up the aluminum foil-wrapped ham in the air fryer basket for 10 minutes per pound.
Why Have My Air Fryer Started Smoking?
If your air fryer starts to smoke while cooking ham or other fatty meats, turn it off immediately.
It happens when fat from the meat drips from the food and falls into the drawer. Because air fryers use 360-degree air circulation, the fat from the basket rises and lands on the coils near the fan on top.
Add a slice of bread or a small amount of water to the bottom of the basket so that the fat does not reach the bottom.
