Air-Fryer Hamburger Tips

How long does it take to cook a hamburger in an air fryer?

Most burgers are ready after air-frying for 6 to 8 minutes on each side (12 to 16 minutes total). But our Test Kitchen found that cook times vary dramatically between brands of air fryers, so we usually give a range. It's best to start checking the temperature of the meat at the first time listed, and continue cooking as necessary. For air-fryer hamburgers, you'll want to cook until a thermometer inserted in the patty reads 160°F. Find more tips in our air fryer guide.
