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.
