Air-frying tips
• Which food? Many foods that are traditionally fried can be air-fried using only
a fraction of the oil required for other frying methods. Air-fried foods will taste
lighter and less greasy than deep-fried foods.
• Toss in oil or not? Not all foods will benefit from being tossed in oil prior
to being air-fried. Frozen foods and foods with a high fat content such as
chicken wings or bacon do not require oil. To achieve crispy and browned
results on foods such as hand-cut fries or vegetables, evenly coat food with
about one tablespoon of oil.
• Which oil? You can use most oils for air-frying. Olive oil will give you a richer
flavour. Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil has a lighter, milder flavour. For a
crispy, golden result, brush a small amount of oil evenly on the food to be air-
fried, or use an olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
• Crumbed or battered? You can use a variety of coatings to add flavour and
texture to the food you are air-frying, for example, breadcrumbs (seasoned or
plain), panko breadcrumbs, cornflakes, potato chip crumbs, quinoa or various
types of flour. Press the dry coating firmly onto the (battered and/or seasoned)
food pieces to ensure good adhesion during air-frying.
• Flip or shake it? Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but
larger items, like chicken fillets, should be flipped halfway during cooking to
ensure quick, even cooking and browning. When air-frying large quantities of
food that crowd the basket, toss the food halfway through the cooking cycle
to ensure even cooking and browning.
• Which temperature? Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly,
like bacon and thinly sliced vegetable crisps, and lower temperatures for
foods that take longer to cook, like crumbed chicken pieces.
• Which size? Food pieces cook more evenly if they are cut to the same size.
• Condensation? Most foods release water when they are being cooked. If
the door of the oven has condensation droplets during cooking, wait until the
appliance has stopped operating, then wipe the droplets off the door. When
cooking large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may
build up, which could leave some moisture on your benchtop.
