· All the times stated in the table are a guide only - always check that the centre of the food is piping hot.
· The times will vary according to personal choice, size or thickness of food being cooked (e.g. one large piece
will take longer to cook than several smaller pieces of an equivalent weight) and the starting temperature of
the food (fridge or room temperature).
· Always check food packaging for any recommended cooking times and temperatures stated.

This air fryer is great for when you want to eat fried food but with a lower fat content. It can also bake or roast
and many snacks that can be prepared in an electric fan oven can be cooked in this air fryer. For air fryer
recipes/techniques/specific cooking times, consult a specialist recipe book. Some general advice follows:
· If making homemade fries/potato wedges, wash and dry the potatoes and toss in spoonful of cooking oil to
coat the fries before placing into the frying basket.
· For crispier fries, cut chips into smaller sticks or coat with more oil.
· Do not overfill the frying basket and separate food where possible. Take care not to fill the basket beyond 2/3
full for most foods.
· Rinse raw starchy foods (e.g. potatoes) with water and pat dry to help prevent them from sticking together.
· After frying, do not leave the food in the frying basket for too long as the steam will soften any coatings.
· Raw foods usually require frying at a lower temperature than cooked or partially cooked foods.
· The cooking time will vary according to the shape, thickness and composition of the food.
· Smaller pieces will cook quicker than larger pieces. For best results, ensure pieces of food are similar in size.
· Arrange the food with spaces between them so hot air can pass through.
· Cook foods with a lighter flavour before those with stronger flavours to help prevent flavour taint.
· The air fryer can also be used to reheat small quantities of food. Set timer for 10 minutes and the temperature
to 150°C. Always check food is piping hot before eating.
