Air Fryer Pork Loin with Crackling_16x9

Why Air Fry Pork?

Air frying pork is a simple and rewarding method that produces juicy, flavourful dishes every time with minimum fuss.

Whether you’re making a quick weeknight meal or hosting friends for a special meal, these tips and recipes will help you master using your air-fryer to cook pork.

Air frying uses heat which radiates from a heating element with a powerful fan to circulate hot air. It works like a convection oven, heating up much faster than a conventional oven, and may help save on energy bills.  The process creates a crispy texture similar to frying—without the need for excessive oil. Air frying  allows the pork to cook quickly while sealing in moisture, making it the perfect cooking method for busy weeknights or meal prepping  when time is limited.

The air-fryer cooks pork joints to perfection with perfect pork crackling too!

Top Tips for Perfect Air-Fried Pork 

Preheat the air fryer: Remember to preheat your air fryer before use.  It will heat up much faster than a standard oven

Don’t Overcrowd: Ensure there’s enough space in the air fryer basket for air to circulate freely around the food.

Use Oil Sparingly: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil for a crispy finish.

Experiment with Seasonings: Air-fried pork can be seasoned using a variety of flavour options using dried herbs and rubs.

Flip meat for Even Cooking: Turn your pork halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking on both sides. Alternatively, shake the basket from time to time during the cooking process too

Clean: Remember to clean your air fryer after use as excess, food can build up on the basket and trivet and may become difficult to remove over time
