1500W 2.6QT CERAMIC NONSTICK AIR FRYER

CONGRATULATIONS!
The air fryer makes cooking quick, convenient and
most importantly healthy. By using rapid hot air convection
cooking technologies, the air fryer evenly circulates hot air
to cook fresh or frozen foods, giving them the same
crunchy bite and moist interiors produced by conventional
deep fryers. Food is never submerged in cooking oils or
fats while cooking. The air fryer can bake, broil and steam
a wide variety of foods, such as meats, vegetables, pizzas
and even cakes. Get started with the great recipes that
follow and enjoy!
HELPFUL TIPS
•Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter
cooking time than larger ingredients.
•Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the
preparation time optimizes the end result and can help
prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
•Use caution when removing the pan from the unit, as
contents will be very hot.
•Because the rapid air technology reheats the air inside the
appliance instantly, pulling the pan out of the appliance
briefly during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
•Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be
prepared in the air fryer.
•Place an oven safe dish in the air fryer basket when
baking a cake or quiche.
•For a crispy texture, spritz vegetable, olive or non stick oil
over ingredients in the basket.
•You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients by
setting the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
