Welcome to my ultimate Air Fryer Burgers.
I am a burger addict and couldn’t imagine anything better than a tasty burger. I don’t remember when it started but I am sure it was at a young age. The only time my parents entertained a burger was when they served them up at a barbeque.
But I had other ideas.
I used to go to McDonalds during my lunch break when I was waitressing as a teenager during the school holidays. I would always sit in McDonalds with the meal deal of the day. Usually a Big Mac with fries and a milkshake and it was food heaven. Also because I was working long hours and always on my feet I never put a pound on so I could easily go twice a week and not worry about my weight.
Fast forward a decade……okay Dominic is watching me type…….TWO decades and I still love my burgers but I don’t want to put too much fast food into my body so I have got into the habit of making my own.
I will use a mixture of beef and pork mince and they will be made in the Air Fryer. They won’t be completely healthy because I will add a fluffy white burger bun and some cheese and mayonnaise but they are better than a Maccy D’s.

I have found that the best burgers come from a mixture of pork and beef mince rather than just beef. If you can get mixed mince from your supermarket then I suggest you do.
We have found the best place to source mixed mince to make The Ultimate Air Fryer Burgers is from ButcherBox. You even receive free bacon and $10 off your first order when you sign up with this link.

Awesome adding this to my collection. And thanks for the e-book!
Bill Weber says
I think you need to do a little editing. At the beginning of your recipe you say “Total time 14 minutes” Then in the instructions you say cook at 200c for 25 minutes then at 180c for another 20 minutes. If you are going to post recipes get things right first.

Apoligies Bill,
We were testing a new plugin to make the recipes display better and it moved all the content to the right. This meant instead of correct cooking time it removed it by a decimal and then made the servings to 45. But it is all good now! And enjoy your burgers 🙂
Anna says
It says “PREP time 14 mins” & it says “TOTAL time 59 mins” – how bout You get it correct ?? “He who throws the first stone . . . “

So is the correct cooking time 45 minutes then? I am using 8 oz Kobe beef burgers and don’t want to ruin them by overcooking them. How will the burgers brown at such a low temp?
Samantha and Dominic says
Hi Leslie,
We start the burgers on 200c and if you change this to fharenheit then it would be around 390. The heat should be plenty enough to brown the burgers. Like us if you are frightened to overcook the burgers then we checked after 25 minutes to make sure then turned the heat down to 180c (350f) for a further 20 minutes.
Thank you for rating our recipe 🙂
Kind Regards

Richard Reimer says
What is it, 14 minutes or 25 nd 20? Give a definitive here!
Samantha and Dominic says
Hi Richard,
The 14 minutes is the preperation time. We cooked these burgers for 25 minutes on 200c and then a further 20 minutes on 180c. These were quite big burgers.
Hope these are more to your understanding 🙂
Kind Regards

Must people be so nasty
Samantha and Dominic says
Hi Geneva,
Unfortunately people can be nasty because the internet allows people to say what they like. You should see some of the comments we choose not to post, it makes you wonder what kind of people are out their, you have got to have a thick skin and we have been doing it along time now 🙂 We do get a lot of great comments as well 😀
Kind regards
Sam
David Addy says
Even a fat burger will take no longer than 15 minutes total at 400 F coming out medium well. 45 minutes has to be a mistake. Check your burgers people to not ruin them if you choose to cook for 45 minutes.
Samantha and Dominic says
Hi David,
Yes we did cook our burgers for 45 minutes and they turned out how we liked them. Now we have the XL Philips Airfryer the burgers do cook alot quicker but these were cooked in the original airfryer and were very thick, so it was trial and error for us when using it. Like most of our readers they will be new to cooking with the airfryer so we are just sharing our experience from very early having it to using it everyday. Our recipes have evolved and dare i say it got better the more we have used the airfryer but we still use this one today just less cooking time 🙂
Kind Regards
Sam
