Oven Cooking Guide

Air Fry Cooking Guide

Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is 

designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than 

traditional oven cooking. Press the 

Air Fry

 pad, then 

input the desired set temperature and press 

Start

. The 

temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.

Air Fry Cookware Guidelines

• Only use broil safe cookware when using Air Fry mode.
•  A dark sheet pan is recommended. A dark pan 

promotes better browning and crisping.

•  Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be 

used. A sheet pan should be placed on the rack below 

the foods to catch any drippings when using a baking 

basket.

General Tips for Air Fry Mode

•  The Air Fry mode is designed for cooking on a single 

rack.

•  The Air Fry mode is designed to be used without 

preheating.

•  Rack position 4 is recommended for most foods. Use 

rack position 3 for thicker foods.

•  Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is 

already hot when food is placed in the oven.

•  When air frying foods with sauce, it is recommended to 

apply the sauce at the end of cooking.

•  If foods are browning too quickly, try a lower rack 

position or lower oven set temperature.

•  For packaged foods, use traditional oven cooking 

instructions for set temperature and expected cook 

time.

•  It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking
•  Arrange food in a single layer on the pan, do not 

overload the pan.

•  Always check internal food temperature to confirm 

minimum safe temperatures have been reached. 

Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on 

packages and at 

IsItDoneYet.gov.
