Shaking Food
Some foods may require shaking halfway throughout the cooking process. For example, the preset
cooking function for French fries is 20 minutes. Therefore, you should remove the basket to shake the
ingredients after 10 minutes.
How to Shake
•
During cooking, take the baskets out of the air fryer and shake or flip the food. Be careful not to
press the basket release button.
•
When you take the baskets out, the air fryer will pause cooking automatically. As a safety
feature, the display will turn off until the baskets are replaced.
•
When you replace the baskets, cooking will automatically resume.
•
Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds, as the air fryer may start to cool down.
What to Shake
•
Small foods that are stacked will usually need shaking, such as fries or nuggets.
•
Without shaking food may not be crispy or evenly cooked.
•
You can flip other foods such as steak, to ensure even browning.
When to Shake
•
Shake once halfway through cooking or more if desired.
Cooking Guide
Over-Filling
•
If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly. Do not pack in food.
Using Oil
•
Adding a small amount of oil to your food will make it crispier. Use no more than 2 tablespoons
of oil.
•
Oil sprays are excellent for applying small amounts of oil evenly to all food items.
•
Excess oil or food can collect at the bottom of the outer basket. You can wipe these off after you
have finished cooking and when the appliance has cooled down. If you are cooking numerous
batches of food continuously always make sure to remove the juices and crumbs from each
batch before starting the next.
Food Tips
•
You can air fry any frozen foods or goods that 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 baskets.
•
Air frying high fat foods will cause fat to drip to the bottom of the baskets. 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.
