TIPS AND HINTS
AIRFRY
TIP: For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking/
Drip Pan.
AirFry can be used at 200°F – 450°F for up to 1 hour. This function is used to
AirFry foods as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil. A high fan speed and
multiple heating elements circulate hot air to prepare a variety of foods that can
be both delicious and healthier than traditional frying.
• Default: 400°F; 10 minutes.
• Many foods that can be fried can also be AirFried without using excess
amounts of oil. AirFried foods will taste lighter and be less greasy than
deep-fried foods.
• AirFrying doesn’t require oil, but a light coating can enhance browning and
crispiness. Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it
extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add
food, and toss.
• Most oils can be used for AirFrying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavor.
Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavors.
• An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFried foods.
Some examples of different crumb mixtures include: breadcrumbs,
seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes, potato
chips, and graham crackers. Various flours, including gluten-free, and other
dry foods like cornmeal work as well.
• Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like
chicken cutlets, should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure
evenly-cooked and browned results.
• When AirFrying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway
through the cooking cycle to ensure even cooking results and color.
• Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into the same-size pieces.
• Please note that many foods release water as they cook. When cooking large
quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up, which
could leave moisture on your countertop.
