Tips to Extend the Shelf Life of Burrito
To make your burrito last longer, never leave it at room temperature for over 2 hours. That’s because bacteria grow fast at room temperature, making the burrito spoil faster.
How to Make Things Taste Fresh out of the Air Fryer
If you are used to cooking and reheating food in the air fryer, here are some tips to help you:
- Always season food before preheating. This will ensure your food gets refreshed and well-seasoned when removed.
- Add little oil or spray some cooking spray before reheating. This will help keep the outer crust crispy and give it a fresh texture.
- Never reheat food for too long. This will get it overcooked and leave it dry and tough. It is advised to regularly check your meal to ensure it is heated through.
- Use the right temperature to preheat food so to help it cook evenly.
- Never overcrowd the air fryer with too much food or it will start steaming instead of frying.
- Know how long to preheat your food. However, this depends on what you are reheating. It is advised to start reheating meals for three minutes and check them every minute or add more minutes until it’s heated.
