Put a frozen burrito in the air fryer and it came out crunchy on the outside but still cold in the middle

I threw a frozen bean and cheese burrito in at 375 for 10 minutes last night. The outside was golden and crispy like it came from a restaurant. But when I bit into it the center was straight up frozen. I had to microwave it for another 2 minutes which kind of defeats the purpose. Guess I learned that thick frozen stuff needs lower temp and more time, maybe 350 for 15 minutes instead. Anyone else have a similar fail with frozen burritos or other thick items?

lol I read somewhere that air fryers are basically tiny convection ovens so you gotta treat frozen stuff like you're baking it not frying it. I tried cooking a frozen pizza in mine once and the bottom was burnt before the cheese even melted, total disaster.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time I tried to air fry a whole bag of frozen mozzarella sticks and ended up with a cheese explosion all over the inside of the thing. Cleanup took longer than actually making them.
