It has the right amount of fat to keep the burgers nice and juicy as they air-fry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> We don&#8217;t add the salt when shaping the burger patties, Instead, we wait until the last possible moment to season the beef. Salt pulls moisture from meat, and salting too early can make the patties tough and dry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hamburger buns:<\/strong> Use a soft, squishy bun, like sesame seed or potato buns. For added flavor, try salty pretzel buns or buttery brioche. If you have time, try making homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/40-minute-hamburger-buns\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/40-minute-hamburger-buns\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">hamburger buns<\/a>. (Our recipe only takes 40 minutes from start to finish!)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Burger toppings:<\/strong> Keep it classic with ketchup, lettuce, tomato and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-refrigerator-pickles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-refrigerator-pickles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade pickles<\/a>\u2014or go wild with exotic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/burger-toppings\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/burger-toppings\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">burger toppings<\/a>.

Then, place a piece of parchment between each patty, and freeze in a freezer-safe container. For best quality, plan to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-can-you-freeze-ground-beef\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-can-you-freeze-ground-beef\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">frozen ground beef<\/a> within four months.<\/p>\n<h2>Air-Fryer Hamburger Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1984869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Air-Fryer-Hamburgers_FT24_276029_0402_JR_8.gif?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Air Fryer Hamburgers Ft24 276029 0402 Jr 8\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How long should you cook hamburgers in an air fryer?<\/h3>\n<p>Fresh hamburger patties cook for three to five minutes per side in a 350\u00b0F air fryer. For frozen patties, increase the cooking time to 8 to 10 minutes per side. Keep in mind that every air fryer is different, and you may need to adjust\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/air-fryer-cooking-times\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/air-fryer-cooking-times\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">air-fryer cooking times<\/a> depending on the size and thickness of your burger patty.<\/p>\n<p>Check the burgers early to ensure they haven&#8217;t overcooked, or use a meat thermometer to know when burgers are finished cooking. Ground beef patties should cook to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/food-safe-cooking-temperatures\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/food-safe-cooking-temperatures\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">food-safe internal temperature<\/a> of 160\u00b0. If you substitute another type of meat, cook pork or lamb to 160\u00b0 or ground turkey and chicken to 165\u00b0.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you need to flip burgers in the air fryer?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you should flip hamburgers about halfway through the cooking time. Flipping the patties ensures they cook evenly and crisp up on both sides.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you cook burgers and fries in an air fryer at the same time?<\/h3>\n<p>We don&#8217;t recommend air-frying burgers and fries at the same time because they don&#8217;t use the same air-fryer temperature. We air-fry burgers at 350\u00b0, but our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-french-fries\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-french-fries\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">air-fryer french fries<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-sweet-potato-fries\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-sweet-potato-fries\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">air-fryer sweet potato fries<\/a> recipes cook at 400\u00b0. It&#8217;s better to cook the fries first and then move on to the burgers. You can always reheat the fries for a few minutes while assembling the hamburgers.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use a different protein to make air-fryer hamburgers?<\/h3>\n<p>We use ground beef in this air-fryer hamburger recipe, but you can use any type of ground meat, like ground pork, turkey, chicken, lamb or wild game. If you have a favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grilled-pork-burgers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grilled-pork-burgers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pork burger<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grilled-ground-turkey-burgers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grilled-ground-turkey-burgers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">turkey burger<\/a> recipe, feel free to use the seasonings from that recipe. Then, cook the burger patties until a thermometer inserted in the middle of a patty reads 160\u00b0 (or 165\u00b0 for ground poultry), flipping halfway through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air-fryer hamburgers have all the flavor of grilled or pan-fried burgers, but they&#8217;re ready in a fraction of the time, and with less
