foods will taste lighter and be less greasy than
deep-fried foods.
• Air-frying doesn’t require oil, but a light spray
can enhance browning and crispiness. Use an
oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray
to keep it extra light, a pastry brush to evenly
coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add food,
and toss.
• Most oils can be used for air-frying. Olive oil is
preferred for a richer flavour. Vegetable, canola
or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder
flavours.
• An assortment of coatings can be used on air
fried foods. Some examples of different crumb
mixtures include;
- breadcrumbs,
-seasoned breadcrumbs
-panko breadcrumbs
-crushed cornflakes
-crushed potato chips.
Various flours, including gluten-free, and other dry
foods like cornmeal also work very well.
• Most foods do not need to be turned during
cooking, but larger items, like chicken drum-
sticks, should be turned halfway through the
cooking cycle to ensure they are evenly cooked
with browning results.
• When air-frying large quantities of food that fill
the pan, toss food halfway through the cook-
ing cycle to ensure evenly cooked results and
browning.
• Use higher temperatures for foods that cook
quickly, like bacon and chips.
• Use lower temperatures for foods that take lon-
ger to cook, like crumbed chicken.
• Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into
the same-size pieces.
• Please note that many foods release water
when they cook. When cooking large quantities
for an extended period, condensation may
build up, which could leave moisture on your
benchtop.

BAKE
Baking is recommended for a variety of foods you
would normally prepare in a conventional oven.

oven will beep. Place food in oven and display will
show “Ready”; countdown timer will begin.
Bake can be used at 90°C – 230°C for up to 2
hours.
• Default: 180°C for 30 mins.
• The oven defaults to normal convection fan
speed (i.e.
not displaying on screen) for
more delicate items like custards and eggs, as
well as most baked foods like muffins, cakes
and biscuits
