Certain types of ingredients
need to be shaken halfway
through the cook time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or
across each other (e.g. fries) need
to be shaken halfway through the
cook time (see TURN REMINDER
on page 9).
The ingredients are
fried unevenly.
You used a type of snack
meant to be cooked in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush
some oil onto the snacks for a
crispier result.
Fried snacks are not
crispy.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the
air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak
into the basket . The oil produces white
smoke and the basket may heat up
more than usual. This does not affect
the air fryer or the end result.
White smoke comes
out of the air fryer.
The basket still contains
grease residue from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the basket . Make
sure you clean the basket properly
after each use.
Quality potatoes will give
an even cook.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure
they stay firm during frying.
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly.
Potatoes are too starchy. Rinse the potato sticks properly
and dry to remove starch from the
outside of the sticks.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount
of oil and water in the
fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks
properly before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a
crispier result. Add slightly more oil
for a crispier result.
Fresh fries are not
crispy.
The basket does not
fit inside the air fryer.
