Pan Choice
A 6-inch silicone baking pan or a metal pan lined with foil works best. Avoid glass — it heats unevenly in air fryers. Grease the pan and line with parchment paper or foil for easy removal. Silicone pans need no lining but take slightly longer to heat.
Temperature and Time
Clean toothpick means overbaked. Use the box mix brownies in a 6-inch round pan preparation. Set the air fryer to 325°F (165°C); the starting range is 18–24 minutes. Check at the lower end and continue as needed; thickness, load and the appliance affect the actual time.Follow the preparation and texture checks for this food.
Preventing Overbrowning
The proximity of the heating element in air fryers can brown the top quickly. If the top is getting dark before the center is set, lay a piece of foil loosely over the pan for the remaining time. Do not press the foil down onto the batter.
Cooling
Let brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing. Cutting too soon causes them to fall apart. For clean slices, refrigerate for 30 minutes after cooling — cold brownies cut much more cleanly than warm ones.
