AIR FRYING TIPS
• Please check on the cooking of your food as our air fryer cooking technology will
cook food quicker than that of convectional ovens
• Pat the food dry before cooking to encourage browning and to avoid excess
smoke
• To ensure even cooking/browning, always open the active basket halfway through
the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the air fryer basket. Some recipes
call to brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust the temperature or time if
needed
• Frying small batches will require shorter cooking times and yield crispier results.
• To avoid excess smoke when cooking foods high in fat (e.g bacon, chicken wings
or sausages), it may be necessary to empty the fat gathered in the air fryer basket
between batches
• Create a more spaced out surface area to allow more air to pass through by cutting
food into smaller pieces. This can yield crispier foods
• Press breading/coating onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for
at least 30 minutes before frying. This allows the coating to be slightly absorbed
and ensures the coating sticks to foods when cooking
• To improve crispiness in meat, coat the meat lightly with cornour or rice our and
spray with oil
• Arrange breaded coated foods in air fryer basket so that food is not touching to
allow air ow on all surfaces
• Spray oils works best with this air fryer. The spray distributes the oil more evenly
and less oil generally needed. However, canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grape
seed, peanut or vegetable oil work well too
• When baking or using wetter foods it is best to use parchment paper to line the
basket
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or
quiche or if you want to fry fragile foods
• For best results with fresh chips use King Edward, Maris Piper, Romano, Désirée,
or Russet potatoes. Make sure they have been washed and dried. this will help
create a crispier chip
Air frying Pre-Packaged Frozen Foods
• Depending on the type and amount of food being cooked, suggested cook times
may dier. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine the nal
cook time and temperature
• Once the time is up, ensure the food is fully cooked
