Rant: Overloading the air fryer makes everything steam
Lots of recipes don't mention how full you should fill the basket. I ruined a batch of broccoli because it was packed in tight and came out soft. Now I make sure to leave gaps so the hot air can move around.

Ugh, yes! I learned the hard way that pretty much everything needs to be in a single layer to cook right and let the air circulate properly.

How do you manage when you need to cook a large amount? I always use two pans and swap their oven positions mid-way. Things like chicken wings just steam if piled up, but a SINGLE layer lets them get properly crispy. It adds time but the results are WAY better.

Wait, you only use TWO pans for a huge batch?
