chamber.
Cooking tips
Give all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks a fighting chance!
• Preheating is an important step! Wait for the
Add Food
message to appear before
adding food to the cooking chamber.
• When baking cake, pie, quiche, and other treats, use an oven-safe baking dish
covered with foil (or an oven-safe lid) to prevent the top from overcooking.
• When cooking pizza, put
both
cooking trays in the oven, and place the pizza on
the bottom cooking tray. This keeps the top from overcooking!
• For coated food, like onion rings or deep-fried pickles, use an egg wash with
breadcrumbs rather than liquid-based batters to make sure that batter sticks
to the food.
• Spray food items with cooking oil
before
adding seasoning to get the seasoning
to stick well.
• For super crispy fries, soak your fresh-cut potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes,
then pat them dry and spray them lightly with oil before cooking.
• Patting dry moist food items before cooking prevents excess steam and splatter and
gives you crispier results.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip, so always use the drip pan. To prevent excess
smoke, watch the oil levels and carefully remove and drain the drip pan as needed.
for fun, easy-to-follow recipes.
CAUTION
When cooking meat, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal
temperature reaches a safe minimum temperature. Refer to the
USDA’s
Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart
for more information.
