Why does nobody talk about how air fryer french fries can go from perfect to charcoal in SECONDS?

I learned the hard way that setting a timer for two minutes less makes ALL the difference. Now my fries are crispy, not cremated.

Nah, they always burn no matter what!

@skyler921, I have to disagree a bit here because I've managed to prevent burning before. (It took some trial and error, for sure.) The key is often in the preparation, like preheating properly or not overcrowding the pan. Timing is everything, and a little patience goes a long way. Once you figure out the right method, it becomes much easier to avoid those burnt results.

Man, I wish I had Robert's patience. My last attempt at scrambled eggs somehow turned into crunchy charcoal bits. Maybe I'm just destined to set off smoke alarms as my signature cooking move?
