About Shake the Basket

Shake the Basket is a small, independent site about one appliance: the air fryer. It gives you the details most recipes skip — exact temperatures in °F and °C, cups and grams, when to shake, and the safe internal temperature that tells you food is done — with a "Jump to Recipe" button on every page.

The site is run by Martín Golia. Who's behind Shake the Basket →

Editorial policy

How we write

• Each recipe and guide is written to answer one real question, with the answer near the top.
• Drafts are prepared with the help of AI writing tools and then checked, edited and approved by a person before they go live. We don't publish anything we haven't read in full.
• Times are written for a standard 5–6 quart, 1500–1800W basket air fryer, with notes for smaller machines and oven-style models. Air fryers vary, so we always tell you how to check doneness instead of trusting the clock.
• We don't claim lab testing or professional credentials we don't have, and we don't invent chefs or experts. If a qualified professional ever reviews a page, we'll name them.

Sources we use

• Food safety: the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (safe minimum internal temperatures), FoodSafety.gov and, for Australian readers, Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
• Nutrition numbers: USDA FoodData Central, rounded.
• Appliances: manufacturers' manuals and safety instructions.

Articles with food safety information list their sources at the bottom of the page, and every article shows the date it was last reviewed.

Corrections

If something is wrong — a temperature, a time, a broken link — email [email protected]. We check the claim against the sources above, fix the page and update its "Last reviewed" date. Safety-related corrections are made first.
