FAQs
Here are all the frequently asked questions readers have asked when making pork tenderloin in the Air Fryer.
The internal temperature standards have changed over the year for pork. Now, it is safe to cook pork to 145° F. This will ensure that the pork is not dried out. Ground pork should always be cooked to 160° F.
Most pork dishes take any where from 10-15 minutes in the air fryer depending on what it is.
Some air fryers automatically have a preheat built in to them. Others do not. You will need to read your manual. For my Instant brand air fryers all I have to do is set my time and temperature and then it preheats for me. If your air fryer does not preheat on it’s own set the time and temperature and add an additional 5 minutes on the cook time so that the Air Fryer can preheat.
Tips & Tricks
Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I’ve learned when making this recipe.
