15. AIR FRYING COOKING TIPS
1.
Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow food package directions for
suggested
TIME
and
TEMP
.
2.
Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess
smoke.
3.
To ensure even cooking / browning,
ALWAYS
open the basket drawer halfway
through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some
recipes may call for brushed or sprayed oil halfway through cooking. Adjust
TIME
or
TEMP
if needed.
CAUTION!
ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING THE HOT AIR FRYER BASKET.
CAUTION!
MAKE SURE THE CLEAR BASKET LOCK IS IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHEN
SHAKING FOODS FOR THE AIR FRYER. TO AVOID DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PERSONAL
PROPERTY, DO NOT PRESS THE BASKET RELEASE BUTTON WHILE SHAKING THE FRYING
BASKET.
CAUTION!
HOT OIL CAN COLLECT AT THE BASE OF THE DRAWER. TO AVOID RISK OF
BURNS OR PERSONAL INJURY, OR TO AVOID OIL FROM CONTAMINATING AIR FRIED
FOODS, ALWAYS UNLOCK AND REMOVE THE FRYING BASKET FROM THE DRAWER
BEFORE EMPTYING. NEVER TURN THE DRAWER UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE FRYING
BASKET ATTACHED.
4.
Allow cooked foods to rest for at least 5 minutes. Remove the Air Fryer drawer
from the machine and place on a flat, heat resistant surface.
5.
Remove air fried foods and place onto a serving tray. Promptly return the frying
basket to the drawer and lock it into place.
6.
To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon,
chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying
basket drawer between batches.
7.
For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly crumbed foods. Create more
surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press crumbs onto food to help it
adhere. Refrigerate crumbed foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
8.
Arrange crumbed food in the frying basket so that food is not touching to allow
air flow on all surfaces.
9.
Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed.
10.
Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grape seed, peanut, or vegetable oils work well.
11.
Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.

FOODS
1.

required.
