How Air Frying Works
Air frying is a method of cooking and reheating food that uses hot air to create a crispy exterior, similar to deep-frying but with significantly less oil. When you turn on your air fryer, it rapidly circulates hot air throughout its interior, similar to a convection oven. This process allows the air to flow through the perforated basket containing the food, ensuring that your meal cooks or reheats evenly. Though there are different types of air fryers, some are stand-alone, while others fit neatly on your kitchen countertop. However, they all function in the same way.
Why an Air Fryer is a Healthy Way to Reheat your Juici Patty
The way that air fryers function makes them a great appliance for healthily reheating food. Because they warm your patty with super-heated dry air, the mouth-watering pastry will stay crispy, so your patty is as good to eat as if it had just been freshly baked in the oven. Air fryers are also a healthy way to cook and reheat food because:
- Cutting the calories: because little or no oil is used in air frying, it can reduce calories by up to 80%. This is a great aid to weight management.
- Maintaining kitchen safety: Deep fat fryers use a lot of oil, which is heated to a high temperature, usually around 325°F to 375°F. This can make cooking dangerous. On the other hand, air fryers require very little oil, so they are safer to cook.
- Saving you time: Air fryers are one of the most time-efficient cooking methods. Because the hot air circulates, it cooks food quickly. For example, cooking a batch of chicken wings in a traditional oven can take more than 45 minutes, whereas in an air fryer, they’ll be ready in under 25 minutes. Shorter cooking times also help to preserve the food’s nutritional content.
How to Reheat Juici Patties in Your Air Fryer
If you want to reheat your Juici Patties in your air fryer so they retain their crispy texture, here are the steps you need to follow:
- Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C)
- Step 2: Put your Juici Patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket
- Step 3: Cook for 5-7 minutes (depending on the size of your patty). If you have a small air fryer, you will need to cook your beef patties in batches.
- Step 4: If you prefer extra crispy patties, cook for another 1-2 minutes.
What about frozen Juici Patties?
The good news is that you don’t have to defrost your frozen Jamaican beef patties before air frying. You can pop them straight into the air fryer and heat them while frozen. If your patty is frozen, just follow the same instructions above, increasing the time from 7 minutes to 20 – 25 minutes for a perfectly cooked patty, and the results will be the same.

- Place the patty on a lightly oiled baking sheet or piece of parchment paper.
- Reheat for around 10-15 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F
- If frozen, reheat for 15-25 minutes
