Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 Leftover Burger
Instructions
- Preheat the Air FryerPreheat your air fryer to the recommended temperature of 350°F (175°C). Preheating helps to evenly cook the burger and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Prepare the Burger PattiesTake the leftover burger patties out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. This allows for more even reheating. If the patties have cheese, remove any additional toppings before reheating.
- Arrange the Burger PattiesPlace the burger patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving enough space between them for the air to circulate freely. Avoid overcrowding the basket, as it can lead to uneven reheating.
- Reheat the Burger PattiesInsert the loaded air fryer basket into the preheated air fryer. Set the timer for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the patties. Flip the burger patties halfway through the cooking time to ensure even heating.
- Check for DonenessUse a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burger patties. The recommended temperature for reheating cooked beef is 165°F (74°C).
- Add Cheese (Optional)If you desire a cheeseburger, add a slice of cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking. Close the air fryer to allow the cheese to melt onto the patties.
- Rest and ServeOnce the burger patties are cooked to perfection, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs. Allow the patties to rest for a couple of minutes to retain their juiciness. Serve the reheated burger on a soft bun and garnish it with your favorite toppings and sauces.
Notes
To reheat a burger in an air fryer, preheat to 350°F (175°C), then cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping halfway. For a cheeseburger, add cheese in the last minute of cooking. Let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving on a fresh bun with your favorite toppings. This method ensures a deliciously crispy and juicy burger every time.
