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 optimum amount for air frying crispy fries is 17.5 ounces or a little over 1 lb.
-
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.
-
The air fryer can also reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the temperature to
302°F for up to 10 minutes.
-
To cook frozen foods, add an additional 3-5 minutes to your cook time.
Note: When cooking/baking foods that rise (i.e. cakes, quiches or muffins) the Basket (1)
should not be filled more than halfway.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the cooking time if you begin cooking while the air fryer is still
cold.
BAKING CAKES/QUICHES
-
Place an oven-safe dish (not included) into the air fryer Basket (1) if you want to bake a
cake/quiche, steam foods or if you want to air fry delicate foods or foods with fillings.
HOME-MADE FRENCH FRIES
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 into the frying Basket (1).
5.
NOTE: Do not pour the potato sticks from the bowl into the Basket (1) because we don't
want to transfer any excess oil into the Basket (1).
