HINTS & TIPS
•
Smaller cuts of food usually require a slightly shorter
cooking time than larger foods.
•
A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer
cooking time and a smaller amount of food only requires a
slightly shorter cooking time.
•
Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the
cooking process will improve the end result and can help
cook more evenly.
•
Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can result
in a crispier result. Cook your ingredients in the air fryer
within a few minutes after adding the oil.
•
Do not air fry extremely greasy foods such as sausages in
the air fryer.
•
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be
prepared in the air fryer.
•
The air fryer can also reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the
temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
•
To cook frozen foods, add an additional 3-5 minutes to
your cook time.
BAKING/STEAMING FOODS:
•
Place a wire rack (not included) onto the bottom of the
Drawer Pan and place an oven-safe dish onto the wire rack
if you want to bake a cake/quiche, steam foods or if you
want to air fry delicate foods or foods with fillings.
•
Use pre-made dough to prepare foods with fillings quickly
and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter
cooking time than home-made dough.
•
For steaming foods, generally, 1-2 cups of water provides
approximately 5-10 minutes of steam time. Add water to
the Drawer Pan. Place wire rack (not included) into the
Drawer Pan. Place food into an oven-safe dish (not
included) and place dish onto the wire rack.
HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES:
•
The optimum amount for air frying crispy fries is 17.5oz. or
a little over 1 lb.
•
When making your own French fries, follow these steps:
1. Peel potatoes and slice them into strips.
2. Wash and dry them thoroughly.
3. Mix potato strips in a bowl with ½ tablespoon of olive
oil, make sure they are evenly coated.
4. Using your hands or tongs, place the potato strips onto
the frying rack.
When cooking/baking
foods that rise, the
Drawer Pan should
not be filled more
than halfway.
Do not pour the
potato sticks from the
bowl onto the Frying
Rack to avoid
transferring any
excess oil into the
Drawer Pan.
Do not cook frozen,
raw foods in the air
fryer.
