AIR FRYING TIPS & HINTS

Air Frying is a healthy alternative to deep-frying in oil. A high-velocity

fan and an upper heating element circulate air to prepare a variety of

foods that are both delicious and healthier than traditional fried

foods.

• Air Frying doesn’t require oil, but a light spray of cooking spray or

drizzle of oil tossed with food can enhance browning.

• Toss Reminder is recommended when cooking large quantities

that overlap and larger foods like chicken cutlets. Do not overload

the basket; more surface area will result in faster cooking and

better results.

• Foods will cook more evenly when they are cut into equal-size

pieces with minimal overlap.

• An assortment of coatings can be used on Air Fried foods. Some

examples of different crumb mixtures include breadcrumbs (plain,

seasoned, and panko), crushed cornakes, potato chips, and

graham crackers. Various ours (including gluten-free) and other

dry foods like cornmeal work as well.

• When cooking proteins, marinades and juices will drip to the

bottom of the basket. This is a great base for a gravy or pan sauce.

• When Air Frying greasy foods (e.g., bacon), grease will drain into the

bottom of the Air Fry basket. As a precaution, allow hot grease to

cool in the basket before cleaning.

• Use tongs or a silicone spatula to remove food from the basket.

• Use the light/window feature to check on cooking food. The basket

can also be removed to check on the food (this will pause the

cooking until the basket is reinserted into the unit).

AIR FRYER CHART

The chart below lists recommended cooking times, temperatures, and portions for various types of foods that can be Air Fried in

the Cuisinart®Basket Air Fryer. If portions exceed recommendations, you can toss or flip foods occasionally while cooking to ensure

the crispiest, most even results. Smaller amounts of food may require less time. For best Air Fry results, periodically check on food

through viewing window.

MORE WAYS TO COOK

In addition to Air Frying, the Cuisinart®Basket Air Fryer can be

used for baking, broiling, roasting, and more. To cook using these

functions, simply select the function and use the time/temp arrows

to select the desired time and temperature (up to 60 minutes).

Some tips and recommendations on temperature and time are

listed below.

• When using the Cuisinart®Basket Air Fryer, cooking times may

need to be reduced because of the convection fan’s high speed.

Start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the

suggested cooking time.

• When making baked goods in the unit, we recommend:

– Using a heat-safe baking pan (not included) on the

crisper plate.

– For recipes not specifically developed for this Cuisinart®

Basket Air Fryer, we suggest cooking at a lower temperature

(25°F to 50°F lower) than what the recipe indicates.

• The Cuisinart®Basket Air Fryer can be used to broil beef,

chicken, pork, fish, and more.

• Use Broil to top-brown casseroles and gratins. For best results

set the temperature to the highest setting (450°F). Keep a close

eye on food as it browns quickly.

• To roast vegetables and cuts of meat, set the temperature

to 400°F.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the Air Fryer from the electric outlet and allow it to cool

completely before cleaning.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply

wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not directly onto the Basket Air

Fryer, before cleaning.

• To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution

or a spray solution on a sponge. Remove any residue from cleaners with

a clean, damp rag. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products.

These could damage the Basket Air Fryer surface. Never use steel wool

pads on interior of Basket Air Fryer.

• Air Fry basket and crisper plate are dishwasher safe. They can also be

hand-washed in hot, sudsy water with a nylon scouring pad or nylon

brush and thoroughly rinsed.

• Remove the crisper plate from the Air Fry basket to easily access the

bottom of the Air Fry basket.

• Any servicing should be performed by an authorized service

representative.

Operation Why won’t my unit turn on?

Make sure your unit is plugged into a functional outlet.

Make sure the Air Fryer basket is securely in place in the unit.

Call Consumer Service at 1-800-726-0190.

Cooking

Why are fried foods not crispy

or fried evenly?

Some foods may require more oil than others. If not crispy enough, lightly spray, brush, or rub more

oil on the food.

Make sure food is spread evenly in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket with no overlap. If food still

overlaps, toss or ip food halfway through cooking cycle; use the Toss Reminder for an audio alert.

Put the food in for additional cooking time. Make sure to check frequently until food reaches desired

brownness.

Why is my food undercooked?

If you put too much food in the basket, it may not cook in the suggested time. Try using smaller

batches of food and single layers, rather than stacking food items on top of each other.

If the temperature is too low, the food may not fully cook. For Air Frying, the ideal temperature

is around 400ºF.

Cleaning How do I clean tough-to-

remove food residue from the

basket/crisper plate?

To remove baked-on grease, soak the accessories in hot, sudsy water or use a nonabrasive cleaner.

We recommend hand-washing these parts in hot, sudsy water with a nylon scouring pad or nylon

brush and then thoroughly rinsing them, or washing in a dishwasher.

Error code Why am I seeing an "out" error

code on the display?

If "out" is ashing on your display, make sure the Air Fry basket is securely in place before selecting

a function or preset.

Sesame Slider Buns

The perfect size for sliders, these buns also can be used for

tiny sandwiches. Be sure to not skip the flattening step of the

recipe to ensure that they do not puff up too much while baking.

Makes 6 buns

1¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more as needed

¼ cup whole-wheat flour

1½ teaspoons instant yeast

1½ teaspoons granulated sugar

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature

¼ cup water, room temperature

1 large egg, room temperature

Egg wash (1 large egg whisked with 1 teaspoon water and

pinch salt)

Sesame seeds (not toasted)

1. Put the flours, yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food

processor fitted with the metal chopping blade or dough blade.

Process on Low or Dough, if available, to sift. Add the butter and

then process again to combine. Combine the water and egg, and

while the unit is running on Low or Dough, gradually add the

liquid ingredients through the feed tube. Process until the dough

cleans the sides of the work bowl and forms a ball. Continue to

process to knead for about 30 seconds.

2. Knead by hand on a lightly floured counter for about 1

more minute. The dough should be tender and spring back to

the touch.

3. Put the dough into a clean bowl, and cover with a damp towel or

plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 90

minutes; the dough should double in size.

4. Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Roll each into a smooth ball.

Transfer to a parchment-lined 8-inch round pan, and cover again

with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise an

additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until nicely puffed.

5. Select Bake and set the time to 12 minutes and the temperature

to 350°F. Press Start/Stop. Gently flatten the dough balls (this

creates a flatter bun, so they do not puff up too much while

baking). Brush each with the egg wash, and then sprinkle with

the sesame seeds.

When the Air Fryer is preheated, carefully place the pan into

the basket. Begin checking with 2 minutes left. Rolls should be

nicely golden.

7. Remove from basket and allow to cool slightly before halving

and serving.

Cinnamon-Sugar Doughnut Bites

Not that they will likely hang around much longer, but these

doughnut bites are best eaten just after cooking.

Makes 16 doughnut bites

¾ cup bread flour, plus more for kneading

(up to ¼ cup) and as needed

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

¾ teaspoon active dry yeast

2 pinches kosher salt

2 pinches ground cinnamon

1 Pinch ground nutmeg

1 large egg, lightly beaten, room temperature

3 tablespoons buttermilk, room temperature

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon unsalted butter,

room temperature and cut into 4 pieces

Melted butter, for finishing (approximately 2 tablespoons)

Cinnamon sugar, for finishing (if preparing at home,

combine ¼ cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon

ground cinnamon)

1. Put the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a

large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

2. Whisk the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla together, and then slowly

combine with the flour mixture (use your hands or a wooden

spoon). Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and transfer

the dough to the work surface, dusting the dough lightly with

flour. Knead the dough, adding flour as necessary 1 teaspoon at

a time to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. Add the

butter, 1 piece at a time, until all the butter has been

incorporated into the dough. Continue adding flour 1 teaspoon

at a time to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. The

dough should be tender and smooth, and when pulled should

not break apart.

3. Form the dough into a ball. Put in a clean mixing bowl, cover

with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, gently turn the dough over, and press it down (do

not punch). Cover and allow to rest for another hour.

4. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 16 pieces.

Working with one piece at a time and keeping the others covered

loosely with plastic wrap, roll between your hands to form into a

small, smooth ball. Once each ball is rolled, cover loosely with

plastic wrap.

5. Once 8 balls of dough have been formed, transfer to the

Air Fryer basket.

6. Place basket in the Air Fryer. Select Bake and set the time to 8

minutes and the temperature to 350°F. Press Start/Stop.

Doughnuts bites are done when they are slightly browned.

Repeat with the remaining dough.

7. Once each batch of doughnut bites is finished and still warm,

brush with butter on all sides, and then gently toss in the

cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately.

Raspberry-Peach Hand Pies

All the best parts of the pie without the fuss. There is a reason

hand pies are so popular – they are delicious, easy to assemble,

and very forgiving. If you’re feeling creative, have fun crimping the

edges of the crust or scoring designs on top of each pie.

Makes 10 to 12 hand pies

For the dough:

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

¼ cup ice water

For the filling:

1 bag (10 ounces) frozen peach slices, thawed

6 ounces fresh raspberries

1/3cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons tapioca flour/starch

1 tablespoon finely chopped candied ginger

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

For the egg wash:

1 large egg whisked with 1 teaspoon water and pinch of salt

Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

1. Prepare the dough. Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt, and

then add the butter cubes. Using your hands, rub the butter into

the flour until the butter is fully coated and broken into pieces

the size of peas. Then add the water and mix until the dough is

no longer powdery dry and is coming together when pinched.

(This process could also be done in a food processor fitted with

the metal chopping blade.

First, process the dry ingredients on Low, and then add the

butter. Pulse on High until the butter pieces are about the size of

peas. Slowly pulse in the water 1 tablespoon at a time. Finish

bringing the dough together on a lightly floured surface by hand.)

Fold the dough over itself a few times (this helps to make extra

flaky layers), and then form into two rounds. Wrap well and chill

a minimum of two hours or up to overnight.

2. Just before getting ready to cook, prepare the filling. In a

medium to large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, raspberries,

sugar, tapioca flour, candied ginger, lemon juice, vanilla, salt, and

ground ginger, and mix gently to combine. Reserve.

3. Roll one of the pieces of dough into a large round about 1/8to ¼

inch thick, and then cut out pieces with a 4-inch round cutter.

Use a slotted spoon to scoop a couple of tablespoons of filling,

letting any excess liquid drain back into the bowl, and place in

the center of one of the rounds. Brush the edge of the filled

round with the egg wash, and then top with an unfilled round of

dough. Press to seal, and then use a paring knife to cut a couple

of small slits on top. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds

from the first piece of dough. Refrigerate the prepared hand pies.

Reserve any dough scraps.

4. Repeat with the second round of dough, combining and rerolling

any dough scraps. Hand pies are very forgiving, so don’t let the

extra dough go to waste!

5. Once the hand pies are all assembled and chilled, select Bake,

and set the time to 20 minutes and the temperature to 350°F.

Press Start/Stop.

6. While the Air Fryer is preheating, brush the tops of four of the

hand pies with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if

desired. Once preheated, place into the basket and bake until

nicely browned.

7. Remove and repeat with the remaining hand pies.

applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commer-

cial purchasers or owners or consumers who purchase from unauthorized

Cuisinart®resellers. We warrant that your Cuisinart®Basket Air Fryer will

be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use

for 3 years from the date of original purchase. We recommend that you

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents

have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store

where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart

products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its

preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent

repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the

amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product.

If neither of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the

consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent

repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accomplished.

Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost

of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products

under warranty. California residents may also, according to their prefer-

ence, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if

necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free

at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair,

replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products

CONSEJOS Y SUGERENCIAS

PARA FREÍR CON AIRE

Freír los alimentos con aire es una alternativa saludable a freírlos

con aceite. Un ventilador de alta velocidad y una resistencia

superior hacen circular el aire para preparar una variedad de

alimentos que son deliciosos y más saludables que los alimentos

fritos tradicionales.

• Freír con aire no requiere aceite, pero rociar los alimentos con

spray vegetal o revolverlos con un poco de aceite antes de la

cocción ayuda a que se doren más.

• Se recomienda usar la función “TOSS REMINDER” (recordatorio

para agitar la cesta/voltear los alimentos a mitad de cocción)

cuando cocine grandes cantidades de alimentos o alimentos

grandes, tales como chuletas de pollo. No sobrellene la cesta;

disponer los alimentos en una sola capa logrará una cocción

más rápida y mejores resultados.

• Los alimentos se cocinarán más uniformemente si son del

mismo tamaño y si se disponen en la cesta en una sola capa.

• Una variedad de coberturas pueden ser usadas para rebozar/

empanar los alimentos antes de freírlos con aire, p. ej., pan

rallado (natural, sazonado o “panko”), hojuelas de maíz picadas,

chips de papa picadas, galletas Graham molidas, etc. Algunas

harinas (incluyendo las mezclas sin gluten) y otros alimentos

secos, tales como la harina de maíz, también dan buenos

resultados.

• Cuando cocine pollo, carne, pescado o mariscos, jugo se

acumulará en el fondo de la cesta. Este jugo es una buena base

para preparar salsa.

• Al freír con aire alimentos grasos (p. ej., tocino), la grasa se

acumulará en la cesta. Deje que la grasa caliente se enfríe antes

de lavar la cesta.

• Use pinzas de cocina o una espátula de silicona para retirar los

alimentos de la cesta.

• Use la luz para monitorear la cocción. Nota: También puede

retirar la cesta del aparato para comprobar el estado de cocción

(el temporizador se detendrá hasta volver a colocar la cesta en

el aparato).

GUÍA DE FRITURA CON AIRE

La tabla en la página siguiente indica el tiempo, la temperatura

de cocción y las porciones recomendados para varios tipos

de alimentos que pueden freírse con aire en la freidora de

aire Cuisinart®. Si desea freír con aire más alimentos que lo

recomendado en la tabla, revuelva o voltee ocasionalmente los

alimentos para conseguir resultados uniformes y crujientes.

Pequeñas cantidades de alimentos pueden requerir menos

tiempo de cocción. Para resultados óptimos, compruebe

regularmente el estado de cocción por la ventanilla.

NOTA: Use una fuente resistente al calor (no incluida)

directamente en la rejilla para hornear alimentos tales como

pasteles/tartas, “quiches” y cazuelas.

Funcionamiento El aparato no se enciende.

Compruebe que la toma de corriente en la cual está enchufado el aparato esté funcionando.

Compruebe que la cesta esté correctamente instalada.

Llame a nuestro servicio de atención al cliente al 1-800-726-0190.

Cocción

Los alimentos fritos no son

crujientes o no se cocinan

uniformemente.

Algunos alimentos requieren más aceite que otros. Si los alimentos no están lo suficientemente

crujientes, rocíelos o cepíllelos con aceite antes de cocinarlos.

Cerciórese de distribuir los alimentos uniformemente en la cesta, en una capa y sin

superponerlos. De ser necesario, agite la cesta o voltee los alimentos a mitad de tiempo (use la

función “TOSS REMINDER” para fijar una alerta sonora).

Cocine los alimentos por un tiempo adicional, comprobando el estado de cocción

regularmente hasta que estén dorados.

¿Por qué los alimentos están

poco cocinados?

Si coloca demasiados alimentos en la cesta, puede que no se cocinen bien dentro del tiempo

sugerido. Trate de cocinar cantidades más pequeñas de alimentos a la vez, en una sola capa

en lugar de apilarlos.

Si la temperatura está muy baja, puede que los alimentos no se cocinen completamente.

La temperatura ideal para freír con aire es alrededor de 400 °F.

Limpieza ¿Cómo quitar los residuos de

alimentos difíciles de eliminar

de la cesta/rejilla?

Para eliminar grasa quemada, remoje los accesorios en agua jabonosa caliente o use un

limpiador no abrasivo.

Se recomienda lavar los accesorios a mano en agua jabonosa caliente, usando un estropajo o

un cepillo de nylon, y enjuagarlos bien.

Código de error “OUT” Si el código de error “OUT” parpadea en la pantalla, esto significa que la cesta para freír no

está bien instalada. Cerciórese de que esté bien colocada antes de elegir el modo de cocción

o la función preprogramada deseada.

MÁS FORMAS DE COCINAR

La freidora de aire Cuisinart®también puede usarse para

hornear, dorar/gratinar, asar y más. Para usar estas funciones,

simplemente presione el botón correspondiente a la función

deseada y fije la temperatura y el tiempo (hasta 60 minutos). Siga

los consejos y las recomendaciones acerca de la temperatura y

del tiempo a continuación.

• Al usar la freidora de aire Cuisinart®, puede que tenga que

reducir el tiempo de cocción ya que el ventilador de convección

hace que los alimentos se cocinan más rápidamente. Empiece a

comprobar el punto de cocción 5-10 minutos antes del final del

tiempo recomendado.

• Para hornear, recomendamos:

– Colocar una fuente resistente al calor (no incluida) en la rejilla.

– Usar una temperatura 25-50 °F (15-30 °C) más baja que

la temperatura indicada en la receta (para las recetas no

desarrolladas específicamente para este aparato).

• La freidora de aire Cuisinart®puede usarse para asar res, pollo,

cerdo, pescado y más.

• Use la función “BROIL” para dorar/gratinar las cazuelas y los

gratines. Para conseguir mejores resultados, fije la temperatura

en el nivel más alto (450°F). Vigile de cerca los alimentos, ya

que se doran rápidamente.

• Para asar vegetales y carnes, fije la temperatura en 400°F.

LIMPIEZA Y MANTENIMIENTO

• Siempre desenchufe el aparato y deje que se enfríe

completamente antes de limpiarlo.

• No use limpiadores abrasivos; esto dañará el acabado.

Simplemente limpie la carcasa del aparato con un paño

húmedo y séquelo bien. Si desea usar un limpiador, aplique

este directamente en el paño; no en el aparato.

• Para limpiar el interior del aparato, use una esponja ligeramente

humedecida con agua jabonosa o spray limpiador. Elimine los

residuos de limpiador con un paño húmedo limpio. Nunca use

productos químicos fuertes o abrasivos; esto puede dañar la

superficie del aparato. Nunca use estropajos metálicos (p. ej.,

lana de acero) para limpiar el interior del aparato.

• La cesta y la rejilla son aptas para lavavajillas. También pueden

lavarse a mano, en agua jabonosa caliente, usando un estropajo

o un cepillo de nylon. Cerciórese de enjuagar bien.

• Retire la rejilla de la cesta para poder limpiar el fondo de

la misma.

• Cualquier otro servicio debe ser realizado por un

técnico autorizado.

1 huevo grande, a temperatura ambiente

½ cucharadita de extracto natural de vainilla

1⁄3taza (80 g) de suero de leche (“buttermilk”)

2 tazas (280 g) de arándanos azules frescos,

lavados y bien secados

1. Engrasar ligeramente un molde de redondo de 8 in (20 cm) con

spray vegetal; reservar.

2. Preparar la cobertura crujiente: Colocar la harina, el azúcar

rubia, la mantequilla, la canela y la sal en un tazón grande.

Mezclar, a mano o usando una batidora de mano, hasta que los

ingredientes se aglomeren y formen “migajas” grandes.

Refrigerar hasta el momento de usar.

3. Preparar el pastel: Colocar la harina, el bicarbonato, el crémor

tártaro y la sal en un tazón mediano; revolver y reservar.

4. Colocar la mantequilla y el azúcar en un tazón grande. Batir, a

mano o usando una batidora de mano, hasta conseguir una

mezcla suave y ligera.

5. Raspar bien el tazón y, a continuación, agregar el huevo y la

vainilla. Revolver hasta conseguir una mezcla suave y

homogénea.

6. Agregar la mitad de los ingredientes secos reservados y la

mitad del suero de leche. Mezclar para combinar. Raspar fondo

y las paredes del tazón. Agregar los ingredientes secos y el

suero de leche restantes. Seguir mezclando a baja velocidad

hasta obtener una mezcla suave y homogénea.

7. Verter la mezcla en el molde preparado y suavizar la parte de

encima. Esparcir uniformemente los arándanos azules en la

parte superior y, a continuación, presionarlos suavemente para

que queden ligeramente sumergidos en la mezcla.

8. Cubrir uniformemente con la cobertura preparada, rompiendo

los grumos grandes.

9. Elegir el modo “BAKE” y fijar el tiempo en 45 minutos y la

temperatura en 325°F. Presionar el botón START/STOP. Después

del precalentamiento, colocar el pastel en la cesta. El pastel

está listo cuando la cobertura crujiente esté uniformemente

dorada y un probador salga limpio del centro del pastel. De ser

necesario, agregar tiempo de cocción adicional, en incrementos

de 5 minutos.

10. Desmoldar el pastel y colocarlo sobre una rejilla. Dejar enfriar

completamente antes de cortar y servir.
