Recipe
The table below helps you to select the basic settings for the
ingredients you want to prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As
ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we
cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Because the air inside the appliance reheats instantly, so
pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during cooking
barely disturbs the process.
Tips
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter
cooking time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly
longer cooking time, a smaller amount of
ingredients only requires a slightly shorter
cooking time.
• Shake smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking
time to redistribute them. This improves the end result and
helps to prevent unevenly cooked ingredients.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your
ingredients in the airfryer within a few minutes after you
added the oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as
sausages in the airfryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be
prepared in the airfryer.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 750
grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and
easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking
time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tray or oven dish in the airfryer basket if
you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry
fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the airfryer to reheat ingredients. To
reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to
10 minutes.
Making home-made fries
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked (e.g. frozen)
fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps
below.
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes,
take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on
top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a
kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl.
Put the sticks in the basket.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in
one go, to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom of
the pan.
5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this
chapter.
