MORE WAYS TO COOK
In addition to AirFrying, the Cuisinart
®
AirFryer can be used
for baking, broiling, roasting and more . To cook using these
functions, simply use the knobs to adjust the temperature
(Warm – 450ºF) and time (up to 60 minutes) to the settings you
desire . Some tips and recommendations on temperature and
time are listed below .
• When using the Cuisinart
®
AirFryer, cooking times may need
to be reduced because of the convection fan’s high speed —
start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of
the suggested cooking time .
• When making baked goods in the unit, we recommend:
– The Baking/Drip Pan to be placed directly on the
bottom of the unit
– For recipes not specifically developed for this AirFryer,
we suggest cooking at a lower temperature (about
25°F to 50°F lower) than what the recipe indicates
• The Cuisinart
®
AirFryer can also be used to broil beef,
chicken, pork, fish, and more . It can even be used to
top-brown casseroles and gratins . For best results:
– Set the temperature to the highest setting (450ºF)
– Place the Baking/Drip Pan with or without the AirFryer
Basket in the upper position
• To roast vegetables and cuts of meat:
– Recommended temperature for roasting is 400°F
– Oven position will depend on the size of the foods you
are cooking
• To toast in the Cuisinart
®
AirFryer, be sure to flip items
halfway through the cycle to evenly toast on both sides,
since this unit only has top heaters . Place bread on the
Baking/Drip Pan in the upper position . Set temperature to
450°F, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium toast .
• The Cuisinart
®
AirFryer will toast bagel halves on the
top side . If you prefer a bagel toasted on both sides,
we recommend flipping the bagel halfway through .
