For n extensive list of foods nd their idel mounts, temperture nd
time settings, long with preprtion notes, see the Air Fry Cooking Chrt
nd Dehydrte Chrt on pges 64 through 67 of the ourmi Recipe Book.
• Check food for desired doneness  few minutes before cook time
elpses nd cook  little longer if necessry.
• Alwys ensure rw proteins rech food-sfe temperture.
• Air fryers perform similr to ovens; follow oven instructions on item
pckging or recipe.
• Sncks tht cn be prepred in n oven cn lso be prepred in
the ir fryer.
• Smller ingredients usully require  slightly shorter cook time thn
lrger ingredients.
• Preheting the ir fryer before dding food will generlly deliver the
best results (see PREHEAT on bottom of pge 8).
• When cooking multiple btches in  row, only prehet before the
first btch.
• Turning or tossing food hlfwy through cook time will deliver evenly
browned nd crispy results (see TURN REMINDER on bottom of
pge 8).
• Toss fresh pottoes with 1 tblespoon of oil for  crispy exterior. Air
fry the ingredients within  few minutes fter dding the oil.
