Do you find yourself wanting to enjoy a warm, freshly-baked biscuit in a matter of minutes? Reheating biscuits in an air fryer can offer a swift and delicious result. Air fryers are an energy-efficient way to heat food quickly, so biscuits can be reheated in a short amount of time. In this article, you’ll find tips for the most successful results, solutions to troubleshooting issues, and alternatives to reheating in an air fryer.
Preparing the Biscuits for Reheating
Before you begin, be sure to properly prepare your biscuits for reheating. If your biscuits were in a package, place it in a bowl and cover with a damp paper towel or Microwave Safe Cling Wrap. Cook on high or medium heat in the microwave for 30 seconds intervals until they are warm and soft. If the biscuits were freshly made or leftover from a previous meal, begin by preheating the air fryer. You may need to preheat the air fryer depending on the listed instructions that are found in the user manual. Once it is sitting at the right temperature, insert the prepared biscuits inside.
When reheating the biscuits in the air fryer, be sure to check them regularly to ensure they don’t burn. Depending on the size of the biscuits, they may need to be flipped over halfway through the cooking process. Once the biscuits are golden brown and heated through, they are ready to be served. Enjoy your freshly reheated biscuits with your favorite condiments or toppings!
Setting the Air Fryer
When preparing your air fryer for reheating, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, set the temperature of the air fryer to around 200–250°F (93–121°C). Secondly, depending on how crispy you want your biscuit, adjust the timer. If you want a crunchy biscuit, set it for about two minutes. On the other hand, if you’d rather have a soft biscuit that is warmed through out, set the timer for one minute. Lastly, do not overcrowd the basket of your air fryer. You should add no more than four or five biscuits at a time and ensure that they do not touch each other.
Reheating Biscuits in an Air Fryer
Once your air fryer is set and ready to go, insert your biscuits into the basket. Let them fry and cook for the determined time you established before. When time is up, carefully remove the basket and use oven mitts to keep from getting burnt. You may want to use tongs and rotate any biscuits that needed a closer proximity to the heating elements. If necessary, set the timer for an additional 30–45 seconds to crisp up your biscuits.
Tips for Best Results
To help ensure you get perfectly cooked biscuits every time, here are a few tips:
- If you want crispier biscuits you can lightly brush them with melted butter before reheating in the air fryer.
- Adding seasonings such as garlic powder or herbs can add additional flavor.
- For softer biscuits you can wrap them in Aluminum Foil before reheating.
- Sprinkling a bit of water on the biscuits before reheating can give them a softer texture.
- Switch up the flavors of your biscuits by using different types of dough or adding ingredients such as cheese.
Troubleshooting Common Reheating Issues
Sometimes air fryers can have their own quirks. Here are a few common reheating issues and ways to fix them:
- Soggy Biscuits: This issue can be caused by excess moisture in the air fryer. Try dabbing the biscuits with a towel or paper towel after being reheated. You can also try reducing the amount of moisture in the basket by adding a few drops of oil.
- Undercooked Biscuits: This can be due to improper temperature settings on your air fryer. If your air fryer has adjustable settings, be sure to adjust the temperature and timing accordingly; increasing heat to 250°F (121°C) and increasing the timer for another minute.
- Burnt Biscuits: It is important to not overcrowd your basket when reheating in an air fryer. Be sure that all the biscuits fit inside the basket with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between them. If your biscuits come out burnt, reduce the cooking time.
Alternatives to Reheating in an Air Fryer
If you don’t have an air fryer or just don’t have time to wait for it to properly preheat, there are other ways to quickly reheat biscuits. You can put canned biscuits on a traditional cookie sheet and reheat them in an oven at 350°F (177°C) for 5-10 minutes. You can also wrap each biscuit individually in aluminum foil and reheat them in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until they are warm and soft to your liking.
Reheating biscuits are fast and easy with an air fryer. With these tips, you’ll be able to enjoy warm, crunchy biscuits any time you want!
