AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE
1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested TIME
and TEMP.
2. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
3. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the basket drawer halfway through the
cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some recipes may call for
brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TIME or TEMP if needed.
CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.
CAUTION: Make sure the clear basket lock is in the locked position when shaking foods for
the Air Convection Fryer. To avoid damage to persons or personal property, do not press
the basket release button while shaking the frying basket.
CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the drawer. To avoid risk of burns or personal
injury, or to avoid oil from contaminating air fried foods, always unlock and remove the
frying basket from the drawer before emptying. NEVER turn the drawer upside down with
the frying basket attached.
4. Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the drawer from the machine and
place on a at, heat resistant surface. Then remove frying basket from the drawer.
5. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the
drawer and lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.
6.
To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings
or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
7. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface
area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere.
Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
8. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air ow
on all surfaces.
9. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive,
avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.
10. Unplug the Air Convection Fryer when not in use.
A NOTE ON AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS
1. Where microwave ovens often produce hot, mushy results and toaster ovens take forever,
air convection frying assures reasonably fast, crispy, delicious results!
2. As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook TIMES may
have to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine
nal cook TIME and TEMP.
3. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired.
