White smoke comes
out of the air fryer.
•
Greasy or high fat food
being cooked in air fryer.
•
The pan still contains
grease residues from
previous use.
•
When greasy food is cooked in the air fryer
a large amount of oil will leak into the pan.
The oil produces white smoke and the pan
may heat up more than usual. Lower the
temperature of the air fryer to reduce
the smoke.
•
White smoke is caused by grease heating
up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan
properly after each use.
Homemade chips are
fried unevenly.
•
Potato sticks were not
soaked properly before
cooking.
•
Suboptimal potato type
was used.
•
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least
 minutes, take them out and dry them
with paper towel.
•
Floury-type potatoes are best, such as
Russet and Sebago.
Homemade chips are not
crispy when they come
out of the air frying oven.
•
The crispiness of the chips
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the chips
•
Make sure you dry the potato sticks
properly before you add the oil.
•
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier
result.
•
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
