Adding a small amount of oil to your food will make it crispier. Use no more than 2 US tbsp / 30 mL
of oil.
Oil sprays are excellent for applying small amounts of oil evenly to all food items.

You can air fry any frozen foods or goods that can be baked in an oven.
To make cakes, hand pies, or any food with filling or batter, place food in a heat- safe container
before placing it in the baskets.
Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat to drip to the bottom of the baskets. To avoid excess smoke
while cooking, pour out fat drippings after cooking.
Liquid- marinated foods create splatter and excess smoke. Pat these foods dry before air frying.
Add ½-1 US tbsp / 8-15 mL oil for crispmess.
When making fries from raw potatoes, soak uncooked fries in water for 15 minutes to remove
starch. Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.
Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier results. Try cutting fries into ¼- by 3-inch / 0.6- by 7.6-cm
strips.
