TIPS
- Smaller cuts of foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
- A larger amount of foods only requires a slightly longer cooking time and a smaller amount
of foods 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 airfryer.
- 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
300°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 (13) 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 OR STEAMING FOODS
- Place an oven-safe dish (not included) into the air fryer Basket (13) if you want to bake a
cake/quiche, steam foods or if you want to air fry delicate foods or foods with fillings.
- If the oven-safe dish is too large for the Basket (13), you can place a wire rack (not included) onto
the bottom of the Pan (12) and place the oven-safe dish onto the wire rack.
- For steaming foods, generally, 1-2 cups of water provides approximately 5-10 minutes of steam
time. Add water to the Pan (12). Place wire rack (not included) into the Pan (12). Place food into
an oven-safe dish (not included) and place dish onto the wire rack.
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 (13).
NOTE: Do not pour the potato sticks from the bowl into the Basket (13) because we don't want to
transfer any excess oil into the Basket (13).
