Tips of Frying Cooking
Overfilling
Using Oil
French Fries
• If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly.
Add ½‒1 US tbsp / 8‒15 mL oil for crispiness.
When making fries from raw potatoes, soak uncooked fries in water for 15
minutes to remove starch prior to frying. Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.
Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier results. Try cutting fries into¼- by 3-inch /
0.6- by 7.6-cm strips.
• Adding a small amount of oil to your food will make it crispier. Use no more
tha 2 US tbsp / 30 mL of oil.
Oil sprays are excellent for applying small amounts of oil evenly to all food
items.
• You can air fry any frozen foods or goods that can be baked in an oven.
• To make cakes, hand pies, or any food with filling or batter, place food in a
heat-safe container before placing in the basket.
• Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat to drip to the bottom of the basket. To
avoid excess smoke while cooking, pour out fat drippings after cooking.
• Liquid-marinated foods create splatter and excess smoke. Pat these foods dry
before air frying.
