Make a frozen pot pie in air fryer in about 30 minutes for a fast and easy meal. No need to preheat your oven or thaw the pie.

Now, if you happen to have some frozen pies in the freezer and need to whip up a quick meal, pop them in the air fryer and voila! You'll have crispy pies in a matter of minutes.

For example, if you use a 1500W air fryer for an average of one hour per day, it will use roughly 1.5 kilowatts of electricity when you use it. Most air fryers use between 1.4 and 1.7kWh (kilowatts of energy per hour).
If the tray is completely covered in foil it will block the movement and result in unevenly cooked food. Instead of using foil to keep food from sticking to the trays in an oven model air fryer, it's a better idea to lightly grease the trays ahead of time instead.

Unwrap the pie, place on a baking sheet, and bake in a 300 F oven until the center of the pie is warm (45 minutes – 1 hour). “Tent” with foil if the crust starts to brown too much.
Bacon is safe to cook in the air fryer, but you need to make sure that you use the proper temperature and that your air fryer is clean before you begin. The best bacon air fryer temperature is 350 degrees F. This will crisp the bacon without causing it to smoke or burn.

To reheat a frozen baked pie, thaw the pie in the refrigerator overnight and reheat (bake) in a 350°F oven till heated through. The crust will need to be shielded to prevent over-browning.
Bake the pie almost the entire time on the lowest rack in the oven. This really helps ensure the bottom pastry is baked through.

Heating Fully Baked Pies:
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Put the pie, turnovers, or pastry on a cookie sheet on foil or parchment, and lightly cover with foil. For a 9-inch pie, heat for 15-20 minutes. A 5-inch pie will take about 12-15 minutes and turnovers will take about 10-12 minutes.
