Why Use An Air Fryer For Crab Cakes? No Thawing Required!

Crab cakes are the perfect recipe for the air fryer because their compact size lends to cooking quickly. Since they’re cooked from frozen there’s no worry about them falling apart as they air fry. No thawing also means this is a recipe that can be made at any time. Simply remove crab cakes from their packaging and air fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes for most air fryer’s. The circulating air of the air fryer also means there is no need to flip the crab cakes during cooking.
