It takes about five minutes to reheat food. To me, that’s super quick. But if you’re used to blasting your food for a minute with microwaves, it might feel like forever. We got used to “slow cooking” when we had a steam oven in our previous home. So for us, five minutes is fast. If you’re transitioning to an air fryer from a microwave oven, give it some time to get used to and remember that “slow” in the realm of cooking and eating is usually a good (and healthy) thing.
