Is it necessary to pre-heat the air fryer? Yes, while using an air fryer, we recommend pre-heating it for 10 minutes before cooking. To do this, turn on your air fryer to its highest level and let the appliance heat up for about 10 minutes before adding food.
Can I use other ingredients in my turón recipe? Sugar is a basic ingredient in our turón recipes and is not interchangeable with honey or syrup. You can use cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cloves, and other spices for additional flavors.
Can I air fry turón if the temperature is too low? No. The heating temperature needs to be at least 350°F and anything less than this will not dry out the turón correctly as it will not get crisp.
Can I make a homemade squirrel in my air fryer? Yes! We recommend cutting up a small bird and making sure that you cut off its head so that squirrels cannot get inside.
