Tips
COOKING TIPS
•
Almost any food you cook in the oven, can be air fried.
•
Avoid cooking very greasy foods that splatter, such as sausage, on high temperatures
in the Air Fryer. A temperature of 350°F is recommended.
•
Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
•
Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger items and may be
cooked at higher temperatures than larger pieces because they generally require less
time to cook.
•
For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid
stacking or layering food when possible.
•
Most prepared foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already
contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
•
Frozen appetizers and hors d’oeuvres air fry very well. For best results, arrange them
on the Air Fryer's tray in a single layer.
•
If layering foods, be sure to shake the Air Fryer Basket halfway through to promote
even cooking.
•
Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries, with oil, in a separate
bowl, to improve browning and crispiness. Fresh foods do not contain the same oils,
fats and other ingredients that prepared foods contain which promote browning and
crispiness.
•
When making French fries using fresh potatoes, ensure they are completely dry
before cooking in the Air Fryer. Even the smallest droplets of moisture will prevent
them from getting crispy.
•
When air frying battered food, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the
batters used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep
fryer.
•
Coating battered foods in panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) or puffed rice, and
then spraying them with oil, help create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried
foods.
•
Air fryers are great for reheating food. To reheat your food, set the temperature
to 300°F for up to 10 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches food-safe
temperatures.
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The Air Fryer is
not working/will
not turn on.
The appliance is not plugged in.
Insert plug into the electrical outlet.
The timer was not set.
Press the Time button and use the increase/
decrease buttons to set desired cook time. Press
the Start button to turn on the Air Fryer.
The Air Fryer Basket is not
completely pushed into place.
Use the Basket Handle to push basket securely
into place.
The ingredients fried
with the Air Fryer are
not done.
The basket is overcrowded.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket
to fry more evenly.
The set temperature is too low.
Press the Temperature button and use the
increase/decrease buttons to adjust to a
higher temperature.
The ingredients are
fried unevenly in the
Air Fryer.
Certain ingredients need to be
shaken halfway through.
Shake halfway through the cooking time.
Fried snacks are not
crispy when they come
out of the Air Fryer.
The snack was meant to be
prepared in a traditional deep
fryer.
Lightly brush or spray some oil onto the snacks
for a crispier result.
The basket will not
slide into the
appliance properly.
There are too many
ingredients in the basket.
Do not fill the basket above the MAX fill line.
The basket is not placed in the Air
Fryer correctly.
Push the basket into the Air Fryer until you hear
a click.
There is white smoke
coming out of the
Air Fryer.
Greasy ingredients are being
prepared.
Frying greasy ingredients causes a large amount
of oil to leak into the basket. This will produce
smoke but does not affect the appliance or
cooking of your food.
The pan still contains greasy
residue from previous use.
Make sure the Air Fryer basket is cleaned
properly after every use. The Air Fryer basket is
dishwasher safe.
Fresh French fries are
fried unevenly in
the Air Fryer.
Cut potatoes weren't tossed with
oil evenly.
After soaking, dry cut potatoes completely and
toss with oil in a large bowl; then add to Air
Fryer Basket.
Cut potatoes were not rinsed
properly before air frying.
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes.
Rinse, and dry completely.
Fresh French fries are
not crispy when
they come out of
the Air Fryer.
The crispiness of the fries depends
on the amount of oil and water in
the fries.
Fully dry cut potatoes before tossing with oil or
spices.
Cut the potatoes thinner for crispier results.
Add more oil for crispier results.
Air Fryer is producing a
significant amount of smoke.
High fat content foods, such
as sausage, tend to produce a
significant amount of smoke when
cooked at a high temperature
setting.
This will not harm the air fryer or affect the final
result of the food, but in order to avoid smoke,
fry at a lower temperature.
