I finally tried making frozen fries in my air fryer and they came out soggy
I followed the bag instructions for 15 minutes at 400 degrees, but they were limp and pale. I learned you need to shake the basket every 5 minutes to get them crispy. Has anyone else had to adjust cooking times for frozen foods?

Honestly, the shake method is key. I had the same issue with frozen onion rings. They'd be burnt on one side and raw on the other. Now I give the basket a good shake halfway through, and they come out perfect every time. It's like the hot air needs to move around to hit all the sides.

My oven fries were always soggy until I tried the shake method.

Yeah, the "shake method" is a total game changer. I read a whole article about it, how moving the food lets the dry heat hit the wet spots that cause sogginess. It's exactly what milabutler said about the onion rings. I do it with frozen potato wedges now. I set a timer for halfway, pull the tray out and give everything a good flip and shuffle. They come out crispy all over instead of just on the bottom.
