What If My Ham Doesn’t Fit in the Air Fryer?
Ham comes in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and varieties. Avoid purchasing a ham that is too large for your air fryer. We recommend a wholly cooked ham weighing about 2-3 pounds for most air fryers. Trim the bottom of the ham if it is too large and touches the top heating element of your air fryer.
What’s the Best Way to Reheat Up an Air Fryer Ham?
Preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 325°F. Set the timer for 10 minutes per pound for the aluminum foil-wrapped ham in the air fryer basket. Remove from the air fryer with tongs or oven mitts once done, and carefully open the foil to allow steam to escape. Slice and serve while still warm.
Is Aluminum Foil Safe to Use in An Air Fryer?
Yes, to put it briefly. While we all know not to put foil in the microwave (and if you don’t, the flying sparks will remind you), air fryers are different. If you line it with foil, the air movement will be restricted, and your food will not cook correctly.
How to Avoid an Uncooked Air Fryer Ham?
After air frying, even a little ham might become cold in the center. So, about 2 hours before cooking, take the fully cooked ham out of the fridge and set it aside. This allows the thoroughly cooked ham to come to room temperature.
