This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. I have made them through the years in the Ninja Food, Instant Pot Vortex, GoWise, PowerXL, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Maelthy Lid. The recipe will remain the same. The cooking time will vary slightly.
For best results, try to shape all meatballs to about the same size, so they all cook up simultaneously.
Try using a cookie scoop if you have trouble shaping the Air Fryer Italian Sausage Balls.
