Using your Air Fryer to cook food will help you to reduce the amount of oil
needed in some recipes, which may benefit your diet.

them can be used in your Air Fryer. However, for best results, we recommend
Vegetable or Rapeseed oil.

Fryer doing all the hard work for you.
Did you know there are hundreds of varieties of potatoes grown around the
world with about 80 different varieties grown. Potatoes are usually divided into
two categories:
Floury potatoes – These are generally lighter in colour, with a drier feel, perfect
for homemade chips, wedges and jacket potatoes. Well known varieties are King
Edward, Maris Piper and Rooster.
Waxy potatoes – These are moist, firm and translucent and hold their shape
well—great in salads. Examples of these include Charlotte and Jersey Royals
When choosing potatoes for your recipes, it’s worth buying the right type to
achieve the best results. Many potatoes can be used for a variety of purposes.
For example, the King Edward potato can be used for both homemade chips and
Dauphinoise recipe.

COOKING POPULAR, CONVENIENCE AND FROZEN FOODS
The following table provides basic cooking guidelines for popular, convenience
and frozen foods. Please note that due to the variations in thickness and size
of the foods being cooked some experimentation may be required for the best
cooking results. Always ensure that the food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot
throughout before consuming.
When cooking fresh chips, we’ve kept the oil quantites as low as possible for
the healthiest results. However, if you feel the chips are a little pale and require
further browning, increase the quantity of oil slightly.
