TIPS & TRICKStips & tricks
When Using Oil:
Distribute any oil evenly on foods and ingredients to achieve the crispiest results. Most oils can
be used for air frying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer avor. However, vegetable, grapeseed oil,
or canola oil are recommended for a milder avor.
Oil can also be sprayed or brushed onto foods for air frying. You can also use a non-stick cooking
spray to ensure fried foods do not stick to the Baking Pan or Air Fry Basket.
For Coatings/Breadings:
You can use a variety of different breadings and coatings when air frying foods. Some examples
of different crumb mixtures include: breadcrumbs (including seasoned breadcrumbs), panko
breadcrumbs, cornakes, potato chip crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, quinoa, and different
types of ours.
Flipping/Tossing Foods:
Most foods do not need to be ipped during cooking, but larger items, like chicken cutlets,
should be ipped halfway during the cooking process to ensure even cooking and browning.
When air frying larger quantities of food, ensure that you toss food halfway through cooking to
ensure even cooking and coloring. You may open the Chef Series Air Fryer Oven to ip or toss
your food and this will not affect the cooking process.
For foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips, use higher temperatures. Use lower
temperatures for foods that take longer to cook such as breaded chicken. Ingredients will cook
more evenly if they are cut to the same size.
Line the Baking Pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. It is important to note that when most
foods cook, they also release water. When cooking larger amounts of food for a longer period of
time, condensation may build up, which could leave moisture on your counter top.

Section Titletips & tricks
More Tips & Tricks:
Air frying smaller items or fewer items will require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger
items or a greater number of items.
Shaking smaller items halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help
prevent unevenly fried foods.
When making homemade french fries, soak fresh potatoes in water for 30 minutes, then add
a small amount of oil for a crispy result. Fry your potatoes in the Air Fryer Oven within a few
minutes of adding the oil.
Do not prepare extremely greasy items, such as sausages, in the Chef Series Air Fryer Oven.
You can also use the Chef Series Air Fryer Oven to reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the
Temperature Dial to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
