Yes, you definitely can! Air frying is one of the best ways to reheat leftover pizza. In just a few minutes, you'll get perfectly hot pizza with a crispy crust and ooey, gooey melted cheese.
Place two slices of pizza in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap. Cook on 350° F for 3-4 minutes. I find that 3 minutes is perfect for a thin crust, and 4 minutes is perfect for a thicker crust.
If your air fryer doesn't have a bottom heating element, your pizza's bottom crust will need help browning. Thin-crust pizzas can be flipped before adding their toppings (see above), transferring their browned top crust to the bottom: problem solved!
Cover with foil.
Place in the center of your air fryer basket or rack(s). Use a square of aluminum foil (fold it in half as needed to fit into your air fryer) over the pizza to prevent it from burning.
One of our favorite ways to cook frozen pizza is in the air fryer. Straight from the freezer to the air fryer, it's so easy to make air fried small personal frozen pizza in the air fryer. The crispy pizza crust and texture is so amazing that it's hard to use the regular oven.
An air fryer is simply a small oven that runs on convection heat. The heat is circulated around a tight space by a powerful fan that lies just below or behind the heating element. Just as in a standard oven, it is perfectly safe to use aluminum foil in the air fryer.
An air fryer basket within the 6- to 10-quart size range will provide enough room to roast a whole chicken, a whole pizza and pounds of finger foods.
Preheat an air fryer to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place eggs in the air fryer basket. Cook eggs in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes. Transfer eggs to a cold water bath until fully cooled, 8 to 10 minutes.
Potential drawbacks of using foil in an air fryer
Foil can block airflow: when using foil in your air fryer, make sure you are not blocking airflow. It's designed to cook with hot air flowing up and around your food. If the foil blocks the air from circulating, your food will not cook as intended.
The size of the air fryer basket will determine how many rashers you can cook at one time. Set the air fryer to 200C and cook streaky bacon rashers for 6-10 mins – just-cooked bacon will take 6 mins, but crispier bacon will take 9-10 mins.
Results are always soggy, half cooked pizza dough. The concept of the air fryer is to cook food hot and fast, but if you don't pre-cook the dough first then you get soggy crusts. So we've figured out the issue and learn that air frying the raw dough first then adding the toppings is WAY better.
Toasting bread in the air fryer is about as easy as it gets. Add the bread to the air fryer and cook at 390ºF until toasted to your liking. For me, this is around 4-5 minutes. Don't forget to flip halfway through for even toasting!
Veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms & onions, and cauliflower all turn out incredible in the air fryer. You can also make your main dish IN the air fryer. It works magic with proteins like tofu, chicken drumsticks, meatballs, pork chops, fried chicken… even steak.
Any glass you use in an air fryer should be tempered and oven-safe. The best options for air fryer cooking are those glasses made of borosilicate glass, like the well-known brand Pyrex. This particular type of glass is made in a 1000 degree F oven, making it super durable!
Heat the oven.
Generally, the hotter the oven, the better the pizza will be. The best oven temperature for pizza is between 450 and 500 degrees F (250 to 260 degrees C). Pizza ovens cook at temperatures between 800 and 900 degrees F. You can't get that hot in your home oven, but the higher you can go, the better.
What are the common reasons for pizza dough being undercooked? The first reason that your pizza dough might be undercooked is due to a cooking temperature that is simply too low. Another reason is that you may not have cooked the pizza for long enough.
