Shaking Food
Cooking Guide
How to Shake
•
During cooking, take the basket out of
the oven and shake, mix, or flip the food.
1.
Place the basket on a heat-resistant
holder or surface.
2.
Use tongs to mix or flip the food.
Overfilling
•
If the basket is overfilled, food will cook
unevenly.
•
Food should not be filled over the “
MAX
”
line in the basket.
Do not
pack in food.
Using Oil
•
Adding a small amount of oil to your
food will make it crispier. Use no more
than 2 US tbsp / 30 mL of oil.
•
Oil sprays are excellent for applying small
amounts of oil evenly to all food items.
What to Shake
•
Small foods that are stacked, such as fries
or nuggets, will usually need shaking.
•
Without shaking, foods may not be
crispy or evenly cooked.
•
You can flip other foods, such as steak, to
ensure even browning.
When to Shake
•
Shake, mix, or flip food once halfway
through cooking, or more if desired.
•
Certain functions use a Shake Reminder
(see
Cooking Functions Quick
Reference Charts
, page 14).
Shake Reminder
•
The Shake Reminder will alert you with
5 beeps, and “
(Shake)
” will blink on the
display. This will repeat every 60 seconds
until you open the oven door to shake
food or press
SHAKE
to remove the
Shake Reminder.
•
When you open the oven door, the oven
display will show “
OPEN
” and the oven
will pause cooking automatically. You
will not be able to press
to continue
cooking until the door is closed.
•
When you replace the basket and close
the door, cooking will automatically
resume.
•
Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds,
as the oven may start to cool down.
Note:
•
“Shaking” food does not require physically
shaking the basket.
•
Do not
physically shake the basket unless the
basket is light enough and there is no risk of
spilling or injury.
•
Always
use heat-resistant gloves, pads, or
oven mitts when handling the basket while
it is hot.
