HINTS & TIPS

• 

Smaller cuts of food usually require a slightly shorter 
cooking time than larger foods.

• 

A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer 
cooking time and a smaller amount of food only requires a 
slightly shorter cooking time.

• 

Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the 
cooking process will improve the end result and can help 
cook more evenly.

• 

Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can result 
in a crispier result. Cook your ingredients in the air fryer 
within a few minutes after adding the oil.

• 

Do not air fry extremely greasy foods such as sausages in 
the air fryer.

• 

Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be 
prepared in the air fryer.

• 

The air fryer can also reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the 
temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.

• 

To cook frozen foods, add an additional 3-5 minutes to 

your cook time. 

BAKING/STEAMING FOODS:

• 

Place a wire rack (not included) onto the bottom of the 
Drawer Pan and place an oven-safe dish onto the wire rack 
if you want to bake a cake/quiche, steam foods or if you 

want to air fry delicate foods or foods with fillings.

• 

Use pre-made dough to prepare foods with fillings quickly 

and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter 
cooking time than home-made dough.

• 

For steaming foods, generally, 1-2 cups of water provides 
approximately 5-10 minutes of steam time.  Add water to 
the Drawer Pan.  Place wire rack (not included) into the 
Drawer Pan.  Place food into an oven-safe dish (not 
included) and place dish onto the wire rack.

HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES:

• 

When making your own French fries, follow these steps:
1.  Peel potatoes and slice them into strips.
2.  Wash and dry them thoroughly.
3.  Mix potato strips in a bowl with ½ tablespoon of olive 

oil, make sure they are evenly coated.

4.  Using your hands or tongs, place the potato strips onto 

the frying rack.

When cooking/baking 
foods that rise, the 
Drawer Pan should 

not be filled more 

than halfway.

Do not pour the 
potato sticks from the 
bowl onto the Frying 
Rack to avoid  
transferring any 
excess oil into the 
Drawer Pan.

Do not cook frozen, 

raw foods in the air 
fryer.

NOTE: 

Add 3 minutes to the 
cooking time if you 
begin cooking while 
the air fryer is still 
cold.
