Air Frying Pre-Packed Frozen Foods
• As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cooking times may
have to be reduced slightly.
Roast
• Use a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat to determine desired doneness.
• Cook meats to 5 to 10 degrees below desired doneness (internal temperature). Allow meat
to stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving. The food temperature will continue to rise while the
food is resting.
• Roast large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds to the flavor
and aroma during cooking.
• A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides natural basting.
• To speed up the browning process, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil,
margarine, or melted butter.
Broil
• Use BROIL to melt cheese or to brown crumb toppings.
• Typically, BROIL is used for thinner cuts of meats, or marinated meats, chops, poultry or fish,
fruits, and vegetables.
• Dry marinated meats and fish before broiling. Always pat meat dry to reduce smoke and
promote brownness during broiling.
• To speed up browning and add flavor, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil or
melted butter.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Thaw frozen meats and fish before broiling.
• Broil time is determined by the desired doneness. Always use a meat thermometer.
Bake
• Check package directions to determine if the container is suitable for use in an Air Fryer.
Dehydrate
• NOTE: When manually programming DEHYDRATE menu selection, TIME will increase or
decrease in 1 hour increments.
• Dehydrate fresh, ripe foods to preserve nutrients and enhance flavor.
NOTE: Consult the Pre-Programmed Cooking Selections or follow the food package
directions for suggested TIME and TEMPERATURE.
• Always pat food dry before cooking to promote browning and avoid excess smoke.
• Some recipes may call to brush or spray oil halfway through the cooking process and
adjust TIME and TEMPERATURE.
• WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling any hot food, Basket, or Crisper
Baking Tray(s). Avoid escaping steam from the Air Fryer Basket and the food.
• CAUTION: Always use oven mittens when handling the HOT Air Fryer Basket.
• CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the Basket. Use caution when removing cooked
foods.
• To ensure crispiness, make sure the skin or exterior food surface is dry. 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 Air Frying.
• Arrange breaded food in Air Fryer Basket so that the food is not touching to allow air
to flow through all surfaces. Spray oil work best oil if distributed evenly; canola, olive,
avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work best.
